Race Overview
CREW DRAGON (1) was only fourth the last time he saw a handicap but has been in very good form all year and should make a bold bid at scoring. MR GOODNIGHT (8) has some fair form of late and can contest the finish. MY BLACK LADY (2) is capable of better than the last run would suggest and is not out of it. MISS MAI TAI (4)carries a penalty for her last run but would not be a surprise winner.
