In depth
Verdict
Chookie Dunedin has won his fair share but another furlong wouldn’t have come amiss. The trip also looks too short for Stellar Queen but Wade's Magic was only beaten half-a-length over course and distance 10 days ago. John Kirkup and LEZARDRIEUX were behind that day but the latter started joint favourite so better was expected. Sam James takes over the reins from an apprentice now and he can recoup losses. Jupiter Express is 0-16 on Turf but Woodlands Charm is 2-2 here, though has been out of sorts so far this year.
