Ian Williams has a strong hand running both CARDANO and Lucky's Dream. But the former bids for a hat-trick of course and distance wins with an apprentice’s allowance negating most of a 4lb rise and may have the edge over his stablemate. The latter won over 1m2f here before landing an all-weather bumper at the track while Songkran is upped a grade on the back of a recent second here. Torochica won over track and trip before failing to stay 2m while Margaret Dumont debuts on the all-weather for a new yard and is less exposed than Guroor and Night Bear.
