Anticipating a strong tempo with plenty of speed engaged. Very good race. GIMME SOME LUCK (3) looked well above average on debut. Could not have been more impressive clearing out to score by a space as favourite. Has upside and can keep the ball rolling. THE BRONX BULL (6) was off the mark two back then just missed in Grade 2 company last time. The one to beat of the raced brigade. GIMME A VODKA (2) was a maiden winner three back then stakes placed in two runs since. Among the better chances. SHERLOCK HOLMES (4) is a last-start maiden winner who can measure up. Take catching.
