In depth
Verdict
Fine Balance will be sharper for a recent comeback and the return to today’s trip will suit while Pysanka has placed on the Tapeta in both outings so far. But an apprentice’s allowance and the application of a hood could swing things the way of MOMAER as she debuts on the all-weather having placed on Turf and Mark Loughnane’s yard remains in good form. Cresta De Vega failed to handle heavy going last time and can fare better back on the Polytrack for this.
