LARIAT's first visit here last week brought about a return to form, finishing fourth in a 14-runner C&D handicap. He is 3 lb lower now and gets the nod ahead of Drakensberg, who looked a shade unlucky when third here on penultimate start and, like Lariat, he is lurking on an attractive mark. Sicario and Special Memento both have claims, while lightly-raced 3-y-o Illusory is also worth considering.
