Several of these have good gate speed so a strong tempo is expected. 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.
