Istimraar keeps plugging away but is surely due a rest. Our Lucas started favourite here three weeks ago but only finished fourth and was a couple of lengths behind outsider Cool Valley. FRESH NEW DAWN didn’t get far on his chasing bow but could figure in a race like this with a clear round so is preferred to Walkin In The Rain and Beautiful Ben, who has yet to fire this term and would have preferred quicker ground.
