Arena's Dream gets the vote over Starbougg and Fushe Jo. Arena's Dream is progressing quickly judged on the second of his two outings so far, at Newcastle 18 days ago when short-headed by Wheels In Motion. The step up from five to seven furlongs brought about vast improvement then, and with the experience to call upon, Richard Fahey's charge can go one better. Starbougg shaped very well on his Redcar bow, coming to win his race before being left by Musical Mirage, and will have no trouble picking up a maiden, while Fushe Jo has a bit to live up to, being a half-brother to Arcalis. He takes a big drop in grade after finishing fifth to La Presse in a class 2 contest at York three weeks ago, and would be dangerous to dismiss. However, for the winner we return to Arena's Dream
