Verdict
QUANTUM DOT returned a clear winner over track and trip last week having made all against the far rail. He’s drawn to repeat those same tactics today and is preferred to Swendab. The latter was beaten a length here a fortnight ago under today’s apprentice and should be in the mix once again. Head Space has been back on a winning mark for a while now but has failed to take advantage so far this year while Fine 'n Dandy has won off a similar mark on the all-weather but will need to improve on recent efforts if he’s to figure.
