Unlimited has gone up 2lb for his latest second over C&D with Yungaburra behind but should still be thereabouts. THE HAPPY HAMMER has been in woeful form on the Turf but went close over track and trip off a higher mark back in April and is dropping down a grade today. He gets the nod as another C&D winner, Conry, is struggling off his current mark. Hinton Admiral and Lastkingofscotland are also out of sorts though both have slipped down the weights as a consequence and could bounce back anytime soon.
