Millefiori bids for a four-timer after another easy win over today’s trip at Hamilton. But the handicapper has taken umbrage and she has a massive 17lb hike in the weights to contend with. That could hand the initiative to the veteran KIWI BAY, who showed he was still capable at this level when going close at Redcar a week ago - he races off the same mark in this. Cymraeg Bounty opened his account over track and trip a fortnight ago and is only upped 4lb while Remember Rocky went close here last year off today’s mark and should be sharper for an earlier pipe-opener at the track.
