Rosa De Mi Corazon has a 7lb penalty to contend with as he chases the hat-trick but he is taken to complete it today at the main expense of stablemate Fairnilee and Hughie Morrison's Sohraab. The selection dominated from the front on his handicap debut over course and distance just 11 days ago and won by over three lengths. His wide draw is not ideal for his style of racing, however he does hit the gates well and should be able to gain a handy pitch. Stablemate Fairnilee is another who likes to be handy but he makes his handicap debut today in a tough race so is passed over, along with Diminuto he keeps finding one too good. He has obvious place claims, as does Bahamian Love who drops in class and has the services of Jamie Spencer. Sohraab won his maiden in decent fashion just twelve days ago, but this is a very competitive race so he is passed over as we return to Rosa De Mi Corazon to complete the hat-trick.
