LYRICAL ATTRACTION is the only course winner in the line-up having beaten Esprit de Lumiere a neck over the extended 1m2f 10 days ago. Both were staying on at the finish and there's nothing between them though the winner kept pulling out a bit more. Whitsunday Islands hasn't shown much but the son of Australia should be suited by stepping up in trip while Fujimoto Flyer was thought good enough to contest a Newmarket Listed contest in November but finished last. Laura Bullion performed with credit in decent company last season and connections will be hoping she stays the trip.
