Carolines Charm has crept up the weights but has proved remarkably consistent and another big run is anticipated, though he is closely matched with Yccs Portocervo on their run together at Kempton earlier this month. Double W's has tumbled down the weights but has had a rear view of THEFLYINGPORTRAIT the last twice and Jennie Candlish’s grey is also looking well treated nowadays. Jaboticaba, Lake Takapuna and Monsieur Co all have a win on the board this season so can’t be ignored.
