There's plenty with claims in a tight handicap. Auden's victory here last month came over 1m3f while Victorian Number finished a couple of lengths ahead of Munaawib when runner-up over 7f at the track a fortnight ago. DANDARRELL was beaten only a length when third over course and distance last time and given he can race off the same mark today, Julie Camacho's charge gets another chance. Queen Of Skies should also figure again having beaten both Mataajir and Quadriga here recently and Hot Right Now is worth a second glance on her reappearance as she landed her maiden over track and trip last year.
