Raced in rear, went 3rd over 2f out, pushed along and further progress into 2nd over 1f out, ridden inside final furlong, no impression on winner and kept on same pace close home op 2/1 tchd 7/4
MASUCCI won well last time out and is taken to get the better of his three rivals here. Conclusion rates as the main danger after getting his head in front in a maiden last time while Aussie Valentine's consistency may see him get the better of Elleval who has to concede weight all round.
