Oh Yah Dancer receives a tentative vote in a race which won't take a great deal of winning. Deramore Rythm was well beaten at Perth but is not without a chance on the pick of his Irish form whilst Hapthor ran well last time but is a longstanding maiden. Seven Is Lucky may have benefited from a change of scenery and is one to note in the market, First Boy and Drumdell's Biddy have shown ability in this sphere but Timetwogo and Huckleberry have a good bit to prove still. In fairness, the selection does too but he has only had the three starts and may be able to show improved form now handicapping. There's little hard evidence that he can do so on the form book as he has been well beaten on all three starts but he has yet to race on ground this fast and that may help. He starts life at the right end of the handicap and Oh Yah Dancer may be able to lead them home.
