FREQUENT FLYER was wayward under pressure when runner-up over C&D at the beginning of the month but it was still a solid effort and with that trait put but down to greenness for now, he's up to winning a novice such as this. Captain Wierzba has been off the track since May but is capable of better, with Ana Emaraaty perhaps the pick of the newcomers.
