Race Overview
BLACKBIRDFLY (2) has struck a purple patch of form and is coming off two very nice handicap wins. It will be a test this time under a 3kg penalty but he may well pull it off. TREASURE KEEPER (6) has yet to win a race but was not disgraced when fourth last time out in a handicap and can go closer this time. MARCAN (4) can do better than his disappointing recent form. MISS SUPERNOVA (15) is also capable of improvement.
