This is a hot handicap for the grade and one suspects that there are one of two that are well handicapped and the form should prove strong. Isstoora is well-in under her penalty but has to prove she can repeat her last performance and the same could be said of Whitkirk. Rockwood has slipped in the weights but still looks to have his ability intact and Pickett’s Charge looks as though he can pick up a handicap soon. JACOB BLACK even off this mark of 58 is still well handicapped and may have just found the run coming too soon last time out in his bid to follow-up his easy Musselburgh victory.
