Charlie Luciano arrives here on a progressive profile and, crucially, has already demonstrated he handles this ground and trip, which counts for plenty over twenty-six furlongs on good going, and that fitness edge over some rivals returning from a break adds further appeal despite sitting three pounds behind the top-rated A Wave Of The Sea on these ratings. A Wave Of The Sea heads the field narrowly and cannot be dismissed lightly, while Koori Star and Scalpnagoon are also capable of making their presence felt in what shapes as a competitive nine-runner staying contest. The case for Charlie Luciano rests on his trajectory and conditions being in his favour, even if this is not a race to back with great conviction.
