Verdict

Ballygrooby Bertie should be suited by this drop in trip, and was bang in contention until the last when fourth to Captain Sharpe over 3m last month. However the form of DICA looks stronger, and he stepped forward from a reasonable reappearance when dispatching Miss Conway with aplomb a fortnight ago. Front running tactics often reap dividends at this track during the summer months, and this veteran might just have more resolution than the head-scratchingly difficult to assess Pekanheim.
