Van Dijk beat Susie Javea less than a length in one of these events here earlier and the latter re-opposes on better terms. The former subsequently missed out by only a neck behind Crazy Spin in a handicap over track and trip last week and the above trio are hard to separate. But FALSE ID also won over course and distance just three days ago, when denying Maykir a hat-trick, and David Griffiths’ charge gets the vote on the strength of that form. Szarratu has won three times in Poland but is hard to assess on her debut for Mick Appleby.
