Verdict
Pin and blindfold at the ready for the opener with DREAMS OF GLORY getting the speculative vote in a wide-open contest on his second over track and trip last week. Fantasy Justifier occupied the same finishing position in a division of the same handicap while Toolatetodelegate and Mighty Zip were also placed in separate divisions of a 5f sprint here at the same meeting. Dalness Express was third here a fortnight ago and is another to consider and Quantum Dot is not out of this either.
