Verdict

With a number of newcomers and a couple with experience making limited appeal it may be left to the Fozzy Stack-trained WISHING STAR to battle it out for the honours with the Galileo colt Frankincense who has looked anything but straight forward in two career starts to date, though first-time tongue-tie may assist here. $250,000 as a yearling, Stella D'Oro is a half-sister to Group 1 Prix Ganay winner Cloth Of Stars and is worth a market check prior to off time.
