Verdict

THREE C’S (NAP) has now won both starts on the Fibresand having defied a penalty to beat the re-opposing Equidae last time. Today’s penalty is negated by Grace McEntee’s allowance and the hat-trick beckons. Fly True has something to find with the selection on earlier running here while Robsdelight has been well beaten since scoring over 6f at the track last month. Elhafei posted a much better effort over a mile here on his latest start having tumbled down the weights and is preferred to Newcastle runner-up Bobby Joe Leg.
