Verdict

GADOBOUT DANCER last won a race over this C&D two years ago and is lower in the weights here. He has plenty of weight but this is a poor contest and he gets the vote. The three-year-old Star Kingdom has shown a glimmer of ability which might be enough to get him into the frame at least but the once promising Dynamic Drive, who scored from a mark of 80 in October 2010, has completely lost his form and is now down to 44. It's difficult to drum up any enthusiasm for the remainder with Goodlukin Lucy possibly the best of a poor bunch.
