Race Overview
DRIP (4) was a good winner of a handicap last time out and although carrying a penalty for that win is capable of following up. SHATTERHAND (2) has struggled on the PSF but was good on the turf last year and is capable of bouncing back to score. COEUR DAVIER (6) has struggled of late but is not out of it. KING MOTIF (7) will like this shorter distance so can contest the finish.
