Verdict
Think So is related to four winners but Joe Fanning rides stablemate SCOTS PIPER and the early Derby entry may prove good enough on his racecourse debut. Scott Dixon also runs two but Break The Silence was well beaten on his introduction and the filly Nellie's Dancer, a half-sister to a couple of winning sprinters, is preferred. Black Redstart is getting no nearer after six starts and may struggle once again.
