        Verdict

        Camacho Flyer's run behind Mon Brave at Beverley reads well now he is dropped back to the minimum trip, however LICENCE TO TILL looks a likely newcomer and he is preferred to Mal And Dave and Mercers Row. Mark Johnston has his horses running well and this $130,000 purchase is related to several two-year-old sprint winners. His dam was also a juvenile winner so he is bred to be precocious and if the market speaks in his favour then he should go close. Fellow newcomer Jigajig missed an engagement at Newcastle at the weekend and presumably wants quick ground so eyes will be on the weather with him, whilst Mal And Dave sets the standard from those who have raced. Dandy Nicholls' already gelded son of Redback is yet to achieve an official rating but he has probably raced up to a mark in the late 60's so far. Mercers Row made a pleasing debut at Carlisle behind two smart individuals and is open to improvement; his trainer does well with his sprinters. Charity Fair has plenty to prove, whilst Ignatieff has a better level of form but like a few in the line-up looks pretty exposed. This looks a suitable opening for Licence To Till to make a winning debut and he can land the spoils.
