The second division of the sprint handicap and another open contest and a chance is taken with FOXY BOY, currently kept busy by Rebecca Bastiman over the past month. He is very much one for whom all needs to drop right but this is not a large field, he's down to a tempting mark of 56 and a repeat of his June effort when a fast-finishing Hamilton runner-up would see him in the mix at least. Hopefully he will put a poor performance here last time behind him. Highly Focussed is expected to give a good account after putting together a consistent 2018 sequence, whilst Imperial Legend has also notched a couple of victories this year but is not the easiest to second guess. Solid cases can also be made for Compton River, Funkadelic and Kibaar
