Verdict
Cornahilt Soldier had run in some decent maidens before a better effort over the track and trip. Tachos was always prominent in a similar race to this at Gowran and should improve again. Sluice is the first foal of a 1m2f winner but MAGICAL BAY has a speedier pedigree being a half-sister to a winning sprinter and out of a 6f winner. Dream Ticket stayed on nicely once getting the hang of the job at Naas and should do much better.
