Aazif and Arch Villain continue to creep up the weights despite not winning and Infinite Hope was unfancied in the betting and never figured on her handicap debut. Mawhub finished last on his first start handicapping and Dedication was beaten a long way over C&D on her return from a lay-off. Kelpie Blitz is upped in class but SHESTHEMAN finished a close-up fourth in similar company over track and trip last time and gets the nod racing off the same mark today.
