FANTASY LAND drops into this selling grade for the first time and ought to be good enough to break his maiden tag, while both Versaki and Count On Guest have enough form behind then to enter the frame. The selection has run with credit in a number of races to date and although he has struggled in some better races of late this does look like his easiest opportunity so if recapturing his best he will not be too far away come the business end of the race. Versaki broke his maiden tag first time of asking last year but has struggled ever since. The handicapper rated him as high as 94 after showing promise in his early career but he has tumbled in the weights since then. This is his first attempt in selling company and coming from a yard that like a tilt in the ring he is worth noting in the betting market. Count On Guest has run well in this grade in the past but is unpredictable and should be treated with caution. Fantasy Land is relatively unexposed and can come good now he is dropped in grade.
