Race Overview
BAKHILOVA (1) was an authoritative winner of a similar course-and-distance handicap last month and she needs only to repeat that performance to reconnect with success. LOLLIPOP STAR (6), FIRST ONE (9) and FORTUNATE SON (2) finished 6th, 7th and 9th respectively in that reference race on 8 October and should pose more of a threat on these revised weight terms. RECREATE (13) and QUITE RIGHT TOO (4) have place chances.
