In depth

Verdict

Land of Fantasy, Phantom Stock and Astromance look the three to concentrate on in a competitive opener and the vote goes to Land Of Fantasy. The selection is a course and distance winner and was a good second last time out behind Altitude Dancer last time out and a reproduction of that effort would make him hard to beat despite top weight. Phantom Stock rates the main danger he was a fair fourth behind Fall In Line last time and with the step back up in trip sure to suit he will not be far away. Astromance would have a chance on his best form and ran as if in need of the run on his debut this season, he is sure to strip fitter here. Of the remainder Gemi Bed is from a shrewd yard and is worth noting in the market but for the winner we return to Land Of Fantasy.
