Caballero has continued to hit the frame and that has meant that the handicapper has been given little opportunity to drop him. That said, he remains well-in compared to the figures he realised a couple of years ago. LILIKOI was not disgraced here on going softer than ideal and she’s certainly heading towards a winnable mark while Cosa Sara obliged off a 2lb lower mark in April and this is not a race of much depth. Hajjam campaigned off marks in the mid-80’s in the distant past and his latest run at Doncaster saw him reportedly burst a blood vessel while Tiger Touch is yet to fire for current connections though this is a race very much there for the taking.
