In depth
Verdict
With the top-rated horse on a mark of just 44 this will not take too much winning and finding a consistent sort for punting purposes is nigh on impossible. However, a chance is taken that Leophin Dancer will put it all in on the racecourse today and the Green Dancer gelding may provide a little value as he bids to finally lose his maiden tag. Canatrice, Turtle Love and Herne Bay will not make it easy for the selection though and he will need to be somewhere near his best if he is to prevail. He does have a turn of foot on his day though and may just go off at a fair price if Turtle Love takes a big chunk out of the market.
