Verdict

THUNDER IN MILAN looked at the top of his game when going in at Perth last time and with that form proving strong Lucinda Russell's 7-y-o is taken to make light of a 9 lb hike in the weights. Last year's victor Sputnick is next on the list ahead of Nick Alexander's new recruit Everyday Champagne and the selection's stablemate I Am Gonna Be.

  1. THUNDER IN MILAN (IRE)
  2. SPUTNIK (IRE)
  3. EVERYDAY CHAMPAGNE (IRE)
