Race Overview
A tough lucky last race that may be won by a three-year-old. PAY TO LEARN (3) has shown promise winning half his starts but this will be his first handicap. NEWLOOK (9) won a handicap very nicely last time out but picked a 4kg penalty for that win so it will be a tougher task this time around. UTAMARO (11) ran well over a similar distance at this track last time out and can go one better. CASSIUS (5) could be returning to his best form and is clearly not out of it.
Selection:
3 - 9 - 11
