It may well be best to take a look at the handicap debutantes here with MURCHISON RIVER very much looking the sort who will be better now he goes handicapping. Ingleby Mackenzie brings the solid handicap form into the race but he may be vulnerable to an improver such as the suggestion here. High Wells looks the sort who can build on what he's done so far with Dukinta the wild card who may show more going handicapping.
