Verdict

A tough race for punters but a chance is taken on LUCKY VEGA who was impressive when winning a decent race on debut and yard have a good strike-rate with two-year-olds. To Glory represents last year's winning trainer/jockey combination and he created a nice impression on debut while the Ballydoyle pair certainly warrant respect.
  1. Lucky Vega
