      Verdict

      Clemento was a good second at Warwick in March on his debut for new connections but disappointing at Ffos Las 11 days ago. Fraser Island has a similar recent profile but LIGHT IN THE SKY clearly wasn’t right when last on his handicap debut as he’s since finished second over course and debut and is preferred to the four-year-old Bright Eyed Eagle, who is fitted with a tongue-tie having failed to justify favouritism at Perth.
