      In depth

      Verdict

      Cuban Cigar was out of his depth having a first run for Lucinda Russell and makes more appeal than Ultra Violet and Johnny Boom, though shouldn’t trouble Genuflex on collateral form despite the Milton Harris’ runner carrying a penalty. LIGHTENING COMPANY had decent form over a mile on the Flat and wouldn’t need to be anything special to make a winning start over timber.
