Verdict

ATTICA (8) this looks a target race third up after he was strong through the line with the 128lbs when third in the G2 Tramway Stakes over 7f at this track. Since fitted with a 5 ?f trial placing. Going much better this prep and will relish the fast tempo. AUTUMN BOY (3) ran second to Sheza Alibi over this track and trip in the Doncaster last April. Indicated he was near his best when second in the G1 Makybe Diva Stakes over this trip at Flemington. J Mac sticks from the right draw and has genuine top three claims. DECLICHY BOULEVARD (17) stakes placed mare who will be strong at the business end on the limit. Returned sharp figures last start when saluting over 1m at this track. Can figure prominently. FULLY LIT (10) ran second in this race last year and looks to be going even better this prep. Slick winner of the G3 Cameron Handicap at Newcastle. Stays in the mix. WELL WRITTEN (6) NZ trained mare undefeated in seven starts. Maps well but looks under the odds at the price.
