Race Overview
Runner-up in three of his last four starts, including his most recent outing, top-rated BAD BOY (2) is worth siding with in this handicap, though consistent TERRE BLANCHE (4) is also a candidate for success. Hat-trick seeking TREIZE (1) also has the means to fight for victory, especially with his rider taking a handy 1,5kg off his back. DALKAVA (6), HOUSTON STREET (5) and INSTANTANEMENT (10) are competitive for the places.
