It took SICARIO an age to open his account on the all-weather but he’s now won his last two outings after scoring at Southwell four days ago. He carries a double penalty but none of today’s opposition have looked like winning lately. Sausalito was sent off favourite at Southwell but faded badly and drops down in trip while Jeanette May has yet to win on the all-weather and Glencoe Boy hasn’t won anywhere so far in 28 attempts.
