Verdict

Despite the fact she hasn't won a race since August last season, ELYSIUM DREAM holds some smart form to her name and has done little wrong in three starts so far this year. The combination of the drop back in trip/return to this easier grade should be enough to see her return to winning ways and stamp her class on this field. Salt Whistle Bay has gone close the last twice when runner-up on both occasions, but he may just come up short once again on his fifth start of the year. Raised just 3lb for a comfortable winning reappearance, De Vegas Kid may have been underestimated by the handicapper and is a genuine player if coping with slightly slower ground.
