FormscanBy Mark Nunan - John Flavin has made a bright start to his training career and TUCSON might improve enough from his first run in over a year here last month to take a bit of beating. The Lawman gelding had fair placed form for James Bethell in 2019 and has dropped to an attractive mark. Dance Emperor often loses ground at the start but came home well to be second over course and distance last time and can build on that. Must Be Dreaming was unlucky in running when sixth behind Crest Of A Wave on what was just her second run in handicaps and, with a better draw than that dual course winner on this occasion, can turn the tables and get involved in the finish.
