Genuine tempo from Ramones leading Just Feelin' Lucky. ICONIC TREASURE (1) has produced three solid results in higher grade of late. Shoulders another three kilos with a wide draw but overall record is the right reading. Can go one better. JUST FEELIN' LUCKY (14) is a promising filly returning for Michael Freedman. Has been readied with a nice Rosehill trial, will just need some luck from the wide alley. REMEMBER JACK (5) finally snags an alley and came from the clouds last start in a strong country sprint. Can easily entertain. CORRUPTED (8) finds her right grade fourth up but will need luck from an awkward alley. Keeping safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Iconic Treasure to win. Very wary of Just Feelin' Lucky.
