Mick Channon's VILNIUS looks has if she is finally coming to hand and we'll take the filly to land this sprint handicap at the expense of Boogie Waltzer and Dragonessa. Although the selection is yet to prove herself on soft ground her sire certainly handled it fine and after improving on her last two efforts she might just be ready to win off the mark she carried into second place last time. Boogie Waltzer would ideally like things firmer under hoof but should act well enough on this ground and should build on a promising handicap debut off this mark on his latest outing. Dragonessa could be suited by this step down in trip after finding just one too good when two pounds better off last time but that extra weight might be telling and with little else in the field making much appeal we'll give Vilnius another chance.
