In a race where the majority are exposed as moderate it may pay to focus on the two handicap debutantes ZAVIKON and Beach Dancer. Both are expensive purchases who are potentially a lot better than we have seen so far. The former has already shown enough to suggest he is capable of winning this from today's mark. Beach Dancer has looked backward so far. The market is often an indicator with similar types from this yard when a big run is anticipated. Dashing Poet and Who Told Jo Jo look the pick of the more experienced performers. The former has just a 4lb rise for her latest success and remains competitive if running to current levels on turf.
