Final Melody (11/8), This Guy (10/3), Ninth Crusade (5/1), Alkutonic (15/2), The Love Machine (8/1), Love Bomb (12/1), Hello Isla (40/1), Mini Cotai (50/1)
FINAL MELODY has been a good second on all 3 nursery starts, including C&D last time, and can deservedly get her head in front. The Love Machine is another with a solid nursery record but the drop back to the minimum trip isn't sure to suit and perhaps the main threat will come from Henry de Bromhead handicap newcomer Alkutonic.
