Pearl Acclaim has won three times on the Fibresand but over 5f and he was placed over the latter distance here last week. JAZZ LEGEND had to work hard to gain the lead from a wide draw in a classified race here last time and had little left in the closing stages when finishing behind fourth-placed Westfield Wonder. But Mandy Rowland’s charge had made all to easily beat Ticks The Boxes over course and distance before that and gets another chance in this given today’s more favourable draw. Diamond Pursuit has a bit to find with the selection but Dream Ally is back on a winning mark though has not been at his best lately.
