Verdict
DELPH CRESCENT has taken well to the Fibresand winning both starts so far. Last month’s defeat of Daafr, who had earlier beaten today’s rivals Thrave and Native Silver, gives Richard Fahey’s charge every chance of completing the hat-trick. Native Silver won this last year and finished in front of Bond Angel when third here last time while Howzer Black placed off today’s mark when last racing over track and trip.
