Race preview
Top-weight in a nursery is often quoted as a winning formula and it may prove fruitful here as DREAM TICKET holds strong claims judged on her handicap debut last Friday. The Willie McCreery-trained filly, who will be raised 3lb in future handicaps, had Highland Bells well behind when beating all bar Bergamasco over a mile and shouldn't be inconvenienced by the step back in trip having travelled smoothly to challenge over a furlong out. Private Officer has only raced with plenty of cut in the ground and was far from disgraced behind the impressive Samuel Colt in a 20-runner maiden at the Curragh last time, while at the other end of the weights, Amerigo Vespucci and Maria Land have shown glimpses of form.
