Cherry Tiger and Spokesperson won their respective divisions of the same handicap over track and trip last time and both have 6lb extra to carry. Snow Dancer has a chance on collateral form with Cherry Tiger but Katmai River will do well to reverse running with Spokesperson. Ferryview Place is usually thereabouts without winning but a token vote goes to WARDEN BOND dropped into the lowest grade having also tumbled down the weights.
