KODIAC'S BACK could be the one to side with in a typically competitive handicap. If he gets in the race and he's race-fit after a break he should be hard to beat. Dance Alone won well last time out and may find more for the step up in trip. Mal O'higgins is less exposed than most of these and is open to plenty of improvement after getting off the mark last time out.
1. Kodiac's Back
