CHANNEL PACKET was winning off a 7lb higher mark early this year and a recent fourth over track and trip suggests a bold bid is likely. Mick Appleby’s charge finished in front of Winfola last time. Lenny's Spirit has placed over a mile here on a couple of occasions but Agent Of Fortune makes more appeal on her earlier placed efforts over course and distance. Yuhibu and Danita may both improve now handicapping.
