This popular horse likely to finish strongly in weak field. Prefers a fast track. Keith Looby, portrait of journalist Anne Summers Occasionally cranky old stallion from same stable as Ian Smith. Needs pacifiers but looks in good shape. Has lost weight, but will be carrying a great deal in the handicapping.
Unlikely jockey makes for surprisingly good match.
Jenny Sages, self-portrait Veteran mare in fine fettle. Distance not a problem. Weight a worry. Best on a heavy track, so praying for rain. A slim chance but on a mucky track with the mud flying, hard to rule out.
