The switch to this surface and a drop in trip appeared to bring about some much improved form here last time out in a maiden from GHASEEDAH and returned to handicaps she looks more than capable off a mark of 67. Both Vroom and Viva Verglas have form on this surface as does Kaaber although that one can be rather hit and miss. The Amber Fort makes his first start on Fibresand but his breeding gives enough encouragement that he’ll act on this surface while Kommander Kirkup enters the mix if he’s if he’s able to repeat his winning form of last time off a higher mark.
