Verdict
Just Us Two has scored twice in very fast conditions in just six starts and though last of four on his reappearance will be better for the run and looks sure to go close. Fredricka hasn't won for over a year but has been very consistent at this sort of level and should get into the frame. Pearl Acclaim landed a Class 3 handicap at Musselburgh in June and is on a lower mark here so has to be respected while Flash City is generally thereabouts in these contests. The veteran CAPTAIN DUNNE loves the track and fast ground as he showed when completing a course and distance double by winning this race last spring. He led for a long way on his reappearance and that will have blown the cobwebs off for a repeat performance.
