ILLUSIONIST sets the standard on form and he can double his career tally wtih a victory in this two-year-old novice stakes. The selection can see off his rivals here with Poets Dance who has been running consistently well in her career so far capable of finishing runner-up ahead of Cool Sphere who suffered a shock defeat last time out.
