In depth
Verdict
The 3 to concentrate on here look to be Electric Warrior, Denbera Dancer and Major Magpie with the narrow vote given to Denbera Dancer. The selection has looked a progressive type on the all-weather over the winter and his latest effort can be forgiven as the race was run at a false pace. His yard continue in good form and he should prove tough to beat. Electric Warrior will certainly make a race of it and he won well on the all-weather at Dundalk last time. He looks progressive but he has not got the ideal draw in stall ten today. Major Magpie has certainly got the form to get competitive but he hasn't been seen out for nearly a year so there is a strong possibility that he will need this run. Capable Guest is another with place prospects, but this looks a good opportunity for Denbera Dancer who gets the confident vote.
