Mount Kosciuszko¹⁵²

Better with each start in 7f novices last October. Potential improver now handicapping after a 5-month break/gelding op. A market move could prove significant.

Just An Inkling¹⁸¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: P Cosgrave| T: J R Boyle| OR: 59

Forecasts

Mount Kosciuszko (6/4), Dynamic Talent (10/3), Pluperfect (4/1), Ummsuquaim (9/1), War Brave (11/1), Elsaab (11/1), Just An Inkling (25/1), Nemorum (33/1), Miss Houdini (125/1)

PLUPERFECT clearly isn't one of her connections' star turns but she has made a solid start in handicaps and might be up to getting off the mark here. Mount Kosciuszko and Dynamic Talent have the look of likely improvers in handicaps and can give the selection most to think about.
