Verdict
FUJIN DANCER can take this if quickly turned out after a disappointing second on Friday at Musselburgh; Saving Grace and Botham may be the best of the rest. The selection was only narrowly denied last time in a race where he found plenty of trouble in running. This stiff finish should see him in a good light and he still looks handicapped to win races. Casino Night should appreicate a drop in trip and a return to the track, Botham also runs this track well and is handicapped to win, whilst Champain Sands needs a market check on his return for an in-form yard. George Adamson is still a maiden but there was some promise in a recent comeback outing at Southwell, so along with Saving Grace he is respected. The last-named won tidily at Newcastle and helps to give Eric Alston a strong presence in the race. With quite a few racing from out of the weights this looks a good opportunity for Fujin Dancer to get back to winning ways.
