Badger Berry won his penultimate start over track and trip but struggled off today’s mark last time and the same comment applies to Compass Point. GEOGRAPHY TEACHER has fallen victim to both of the above but Kevin Frost’s charge re-opposes on better terms today and may well return to winning ways. Crazy Spin and Khaan have both won on the Fibresand and should be straighter for recent outings though the former looks the more favourably treated at the weights.
