Verdict
#2 Lucky Sam Gor gets back to his best track and distance after an excusable Classic Cup run, caught up in a hot tempo before weakening late. A stalking run looks likely and a true tempo can bring his finish into play. #1 Salon S is a talented three-year-old on an upward curve after going three from three. He now faces a tougher test under top weight in Class 3 and barrier 11 is awkward, but his profile still points to a horse with plenty to like looking ahead. #11 California Waves appeals as a lightweight chance after flashing home for third behind Winning Ovation last start, and barrier 1 gives him the chance to enjoy a cleaner map. #3 Brilliant Express had excuses first-up when checked and crowded early, settling near last, yet his fast-finishing seventh still had merit. He can take improvement second-up off a pleasing trial between runs.
