Verdict

FIXATION starts out in handicaps from what could well be a lenient mark judged on the pick of his maiden form and he could well be worth chancing to prove as much having made a very interesting yard switch ahead of this. Moyassr and Cherry Pink each arrive in very good heart and are feared, as is low-mileage filly Candidly.
