Plumette drops back down in distance having finished in front of Harbour Vision when third here a fortnight ago. Thapa VC recorded his earlier hat-trick over 7f though is back down in class today along with VISIBILITY. The latter never threatened the winner when third in Class 3 company here last time but this is easier and Scott Dixon’s charge gets the nod. Abnaa looks in the handicappers grip while Yanifer debuts for a new yard on his reappearance.
