BLACKJACK KENTUCKY finished runner-up to a classy looking rival here last time out and he can go one better than when finishing runner-up that day. Jepeck, one of two penalised runners in the field can finish runner-up on this occasion while Holly James, the only other hurdles winner in the field can take third.
