Several won their latest starts though King Daddio faces a tougher task having won with something to spare last time. Lem Me Tel Ya is preferred having beaten both Resident and Doc Kane over 6f recently while Epic Drama landed a less valuable claimer here but had earlier found WILD WINTER too good over track and trip. The latter has been beaten in a more valuable claimer subsequently but gets another chance back at this lower level.
