In depth
Verdict
Bustin Justin can quickly add to his haul, with Louie Louie and Lyrical Sound the ones to give him most to do. Jeremy Noseda has a knack of producing them fit and ready, and he did just that with Bustin Justin at Newbury last month. The son of Forestry, who fetched nearly half a million dollars as a two-year-old, went some way to justifying the faith held in him as he got the better of Disco Ball at the Berkshire track. By all accounts there was a big whisper for him then, and he was entered in the July Cup at one stage. He could turn out to be a lot better than a handicapper in time, and is taken to prove the point here. Louie Louie drops back to a more suitable trip after failing to last home up the hill when put over a mile at Sandown and is still on a fair mark, so warrants respect despite topweight. Lyrical Sound was a beaten favourite at Chester and it may well be that he has little improvement, while the rest have yet to show any worthwhile form this term. Bustin Justin has the most potential of them all and is the one to be on.
