TONKINESE ran creditably in a handicap from a mark in the mid-80s here last time and is probably the one to beat now dropping into a claimer. Itsalonglongroad edged out Royal Admiral in a similar event here earlier in the month and they could be the pair to give Joseph O'Brien's charge most to think about.
