His C&D win last October came off a 16lb higher mark so his ability for a race of this nature isn't in doubt; he hasn't been firing in recent starts though, including when well supported.

Had a tremendous spell for new yard between September and January, winning five at 6f (two here) or 5f; her handicap mark has taken a battering but a recent second at Southwell suggests she's not weighted out of it; Ryan Kavanagh 2-2 on her and she can be thereabouts again.

She has soared up the weights after a fine winter, including three C&D wins; hasn't had a clear shot at things on her last two starts, including behind a couple of today's rivals here three weeks ago, but she still needs a personal best to defy this mark.

Seven-time winner but only one of them has been registered since July 2022; solid third over C&D three weeks ago, albeit only in a classified event, and a 4lb turnaround in the weights may not see him reverse placings with Pinjarra.
