MICA MIKA looks ready to pick up a race and is selected ahead of Alhoni and Box Of Frogs. Richard Fahey's colt has run three good races to date and was a little unlucky to bump into Hayley Cropper last time out. She has since won and franked the form so with this track not a problem he is expected to run well. On a form line through Hayley Cropper he has Alhoni to fear. She really got the hang of things at Thirsk earlier in the week (having been outpaced early on) and if keeping tabs on the main protagonists here she should feature in the finish. Box Of Frogs is capable of better and a repeat of either of her first two maiden runs would see her feature, although it should be pointed out that she has been described as aptly named by her trainer. Karafuse needs to improve for blinkers, a comment that also applies to Mercy Street, whilst newcomer Lighthouse Keeper is from a good German family and needs a market check on his debut. An interesting start but preference is for Mica Mika.
