Verdict

PINBALL WIZARD was no match for the winner, rated 80, when second over course and distance but meets nothing of that calibre in this and can confirm running with both Redheaded Stranger and Mellys Flyer. The remainder with experience have plenty to find but but several of the newcomers are worth noting including Twilight Secret. The latter is a half-brother to no less than seven winners while Dragon Symbol and Cosmos Raj are first foals of winners on the all-weather.
