Verdict
Caribbean Spring returns to action with a shout off his current mark though has done all his winning over further. Hunters Step also won over a mile here early in the year but Three Card Trick hasn’t won anywhere on the all-weather so far. LETS GO LUCKY may finally have slipped far enough down the weights to get her head back in front judged on a couple of improved efforts recently. She gets the nod with Luke Morris’s presence another positive.
