      Verdict

      A tough race to unravel as all six appear to be struggling off their current handicap marks. Miss Bootylishes never looked like winning when runner-up over C&D last time and had Ubenkor and General Tufto behind. Opus Dei has been a losing favourite on his last two starts in lesser company and Gordy Bee has yet to win and wears first-time blinkers here. That leaves MASTER OF DANCE, who won on testing ground earlier this year and may improve for his debut on Fibresand. He gets a tentative vote.
