Never going to be much of a chance off the big handicap last time out when they ran such even sectionals, so put a line through that one from Magic Dash (4). Falls in here nicely, despite the 30m handicap which is negated by the small field. Less question marks than other key rivals and should thrive on the opportunity.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>

Classy customer Lincoln Wave (4) should really relish a drop away from the elite level of racing in his age group tonight.
