KIEFER has really benefited from the switch to handicaps and would have won last time out given another couple of yards. The three-year-old colt could be hard to beat with more progress on the cards against more exposed rivals. Cubswin is feasibly handicapped on her return to the Flat while Lariat could be hard to keep out of the places after another solid effort last time out.
