Verdict

An ultra competitive sprint handicap in which a few potential improvers lock horns with those horses that are dropping down considerably in grade which makes for a tricky puzzle to solve. The likes of Dierama and Patuano are examples of fillies on the up, whilst both Son Of Rest and Tinder have been much more highly tried throughout their short careers. ALFREDO ARCANO isn't able to race at Dundalk for a while yet, but he proved his effectiveness on turf with a good effort behind Solar Halo over C&D last month and gets a tentative nod on ground which could well suit.
