Verdict
Dadeland could well send Mick Easterby's supporters home happy having been handed an ideal opportunity to get off the mark for the season. He caught a tartar in Freya's Dream (won again Sandown 24th July) and wasn't beaten too far. form that is head and shoulders above his moderate rivals. On ground that should be right up his street, Dadeland could be the bet of the night. Lost Spirit and Dinofelis both scored here of late and have to be respected but this is a slightly tougher contest and they may well struggle, whilst Oulton Broad has been in good form on the flat and over the sticks and shouldn't be underestimated.
