jumped right, made all, edged left flat, stayed on well, ridden out
chased winner, not always fluent, lost 2nd after 3 out, no extra before next
chased leaders, not fluent 3 out, soon went 2nd, switched right and shaken up after 2 out, switched right flat, unable to get on terms
All of these have won off higher marks in the past but LUCKY FLIGHT, though a little quirky, has the best recent form and is receiving weight from his two rivals. Joke Dancer is preferred to Instant Replay for forecast purposes though both ran shockers last time.
