Thrave comes out best at the weights but has yet to race on the Fibresand. Requinto Dawn scored over track and trip last month with Puchita back in third though the latter reversed running back here last time while YOUNG JOHN won a handicap over 7f at the track on his latest start having slid down the weights. He’s won off a much higher mark over track and trip in the past and looks the one to side with in his current form dropping down to this level.
