Winning form is brought to the table in this contest, but it may be worth backing a maiden in VENTURA DRAGON. The four-year-old is improving with each race and should be better suited by this galloping track. Off his current mark he could be one step ahead of the handicapper. Theflickeringlight careered away to victory on handicap debut last time and there is every chance she has more improvement in her, while the likes of Wor Verge and Norwegian Woods have showed that higher marks have failed to stop their progression and should be thereabouts.
