Verdict
TIGERWOLF never threatened when fourth in a Tattersalls Millions sales race here last time. But he finished behind subsequent Group 3 winner Gifted Master and will find life easier in this. Colour Me Happy is rated 79 after finishing runner-up once again, at Redcar this time, and he should be in the mix along with Wave Reviews. The latter looks a likely improver while a couple of the newcomers are worthy of close attention including the 340,000gns purchase Dommersen and Autocratic, a half-brother to Group 3 winner Evasive.
