The veteran DUNGANNON looks to have leading claims on these terms. He was narrowly beaten in a handicap over track and trip recently and is clear of most of these at the weights as he drops in class. Moondyne Joe has won two of only three starts but it doesn’t boost confidence to see him at this level on his first outing since winning a handicap at Windsor in July and Archie Stevens is preferred on his earlier second at this venue. Doctor Parkes came up short in a claimer at Lingfield recently and has yet to win on Fibresand.
