Verdict

John Flint was furious after CARP KID was beaten last time following a fault with his starting stall. The trainer rightly felt the episode cost him the race and thankfully the handicapper has not rubbed salt in the wounds by awarding him a higher mark. As a winner without a penalty he needs to take this ordinary event. Illusional is progressing but still has something to prove off his new weight on a different surface, whilst Harmonica's latest effort has been devalued and suggests her current mark is asking too much. Iconic Boy is unexposed and has a nice pedigree, but Polly's Gold may be found wanting and Holy Tiber could find this too far.
