BLACK SPARROW blew the start and was never dangerous in a handicap here 3 days ago. The cheekpieces she wore then are quickly discarded and she's chanced to get back to winning ways dropped to a seller. Campachoochoo looks the biggest danger and finished in front of the selection on Monday under an aggressive ride.
