Corinthian Kid, Universal Grace and Aurophobia came home third, fourth and last of eight in an all-weather novice event over this trip 19 days ago. Universal Grace may came out best today with that debut run under her belt. Royal Agent was narrowly beaten on debut but that looked a weak race. Mia Paradis is starting to look exposed so it may be worth chancing a newcomer in a contest where the market could prove helpful. Our Florentine looks the stable preferred of the Boughey duo with Buick booked and Red Treasure is interesting but both have wide draws. LUFU has the plum spot on the rails and can hopefully break sharply enough to maximise that advantage.
