After a decent reappearance run PIMLICO SOUND gets the vote in this sprint handicap with Fairy Flow and Parc Aux Boules looking the dangers. The pick return from 183 days away to find just the one too good last time. That looked an improved effort on last years form and the run should bring him on. Fairy Flow has been progressive this term and may have been unlucky to bump into one the better last time so with a good record here she has every chance. Parc Aux Boules is finally back down to his last winning mark so should show up better than in recent starts while Trotting Weasel has had a few encouraging runs and may feature. This race shouldn't take much winning and Pimlico Sound can build on a good first run back.
