WHITSUNDAYS ran well off this mark last time out and he can go one better than when finishing second on that occasion by taking this handicap chase. The selection has failed to finish outside of the first three in seven starts over fences and can get the better of Dica who ran well to finish fourth in his bid to complete a hat-trick last time. Top weight Star Tackle has been running well in recent times and he can take third.
