Verdict
Sounds Lucky is the pick to follow up his recent course win, with Jahangir, Firework and Bells Beach others to consider in an open contest. Sounds Lucky actually takes a drop in class, having won a seller on the course 11 days ago, and although that was over five furlongs, he has plenty of winning form over today's trip and so has leading claims. Jahangir has been fancied on a few occasions and was unlucky in a class F handicap when having to be snatched up in running early on. Bells Beach was also the victim of scrimmaging in that race, but had earlier made up for a luckless effort when scoring in lowly handicap company. This drop in grade will be a big help to both and they are on the short-list as well. Firework is yet another who has form over the track and trip and cannot be ruled out of calculations on his best form, while Pip's Song has the assistance of Lisa Jones. In the colours of Paul Dixon, Sounds Lucky gets the vote.
