FormscanBy John O'Riordan - MICKEY THE STEEL remains a maiden after 20 starts but may finally get his head in front. The four-year-old looks a genuine sort who runs his races while always just bumping into one or two too good. It is surely just a matter of time before he gets his head in front and reverting to maiden company looks a wise move. Although he has to give weight away to the three-year-olds, his jockeys claim offsets most of it. Plankton has finished second on both career starts to date so has to be a live threat to the Joseph Murray trained gelding. On the evidence of the midweek results at this track, drawn high appears the place to be. Elephant John only made his debut on Wednesday but is turned out quickly in the hope of going one better than his second over 7f.
