The progressive ALHAAZM landed a hat-trick of course wins with a bit to spare last month. He may well defy a further rise in the weights and confirm latest running with Leadership Race. The latter had finished behind Major Power and Fastman here earlier while Sister Lola is fitted with headgear after scoring by a short-head at Gowran recently but is 7lb higher. Eglish finished in front of Jered Maddox when runner-up over 6f at the track while Sunset Nova placed in a claimer last month.
