Union Jack Jackson landed a 50/1 surprise in a claimer last time but he seems to have plenty to do now back in handicap company and although King's Icon looks under a feather light burden, we prefer KASSUTA. There's very little wrong with the form of the selection's last run when she was beaten by two in form animals who have both won since. She's allotted the same mark and Jamie Spencer looks a positive jockey booking. On the face of it King's Icon is very well treated racing under the same burden as his last run when not beaten far in third and with a seven pound claimer on his back. Al Rayanah is looking dangerous at the weights now but still remains three pounds above her last winning mark and Sotik Star could feature after having a pound removed from his load despite an encouraging run last time. This looks a little trappy but Kassuta may have most in her favour.
