Olivers Pursuit placed in a maiden handicap over track and trip last time and this isn’t much tougher but NOTION OF TIME is preferred. The latter posted a much-improved effort over a longer trip here on her handicap debut and further progress looks likely off her current mark. Pink Jazz won over track and trip at the start of the year but several make their handicap debuts and may improve as a consequence with Smart Connection preferred to Casilli, Doctor Nuno and the returning Spandavia.
