Masqueraded has to carry a double penalty and Mecca's Missus has 4lb extra after landing a similar contest over track and trip last month. Cautious Optimism was placed five times over sprint distances last season so maybe a drop back in trip will suit as he's been struggling to get home over 1m2f recently. INFINITI has started favourite for a couple of non-sellers recently. She's presumably thought capable of better and the addition of cheekpieces could help her fulfil her potential today. The Big Day also drops into a seller for the first time and could figure but Show Me Again and Heart of An Angel have done little to justify their current handicap marks.
