Cracksking is upped in trip back at this level having disappointed on his handicap debut. Atlantis Blue came up against a subsequent handicap winner back in novice company here last time but the less-exposed LET LIFE HAPPEN is preferred. The latter found only one too good back at this track last month, despite being hampered early in the race and having to make up lots of late ground. Another Beautiful and Waxing Gibbous look best of the rest.
