Verdict

KILBRIN ROCCO found only a well-handicapped rival too good when second over fences at this course three days ago and can go one better despite the quick turnaround. Onefortheditch has been reliable and is feared most, while Illtakehimmyself could improve significantly on his first try in handicap company.
