Lucky Neko to take charge ahead of Fendbar at a solid tempo. The well-related FOR BETTER (4) (full to G1 winner Port Lockroy) shed the maiden tag last time out and will have derived a stack of confidence from that breakthrough victory. Can go back-to-back from the favourable draw. HEROIC BEACH (2) is another to break the maiden status at the latest effort and winning rider Lenton sticks. Top-three credentials on that effort. HEAVENLY LOVE (1) got the job done over this track and trip at the latest outing and is drawn to get a gun run from the inside alley. Include in calculations. LUCKY NEKO (9) hails from an astute barn and gets 2kg off with the claim. In the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing For Better.
