Another interesting maiden here where Just Logic may be able to improve on his recent outing here to score, with Fiddlers Wood and Macho Dancer potential dangers and Hazium also given consideration. The selection put up a decent debut effort over course and distance when runner up to Babcary here under Jamie Spencer recently. Any improvement on that would give him a major chance, and he looks good enough. Spencer, however, does not take the mount today, preferring Hazium this time. The Patrick Morris-trained runner has not achieved the form of Just Logic's debut run thus far, so it is an interesting choice from the champion, assuming that he had the call. Macho Dancer ran a good debut at Limerick last year before failing to follow it up, but a winter break should have done her good and if she can reproduce that first effort then she won't be far away. Of the remainder, Fiddlers Wood makes some appeal based on his course and distance second last month, but has to improve a few pounds to win this, and we think Just Logic has the right credentials.
