Watson's Bay is proving a little frustrating to follow so we'll overlook him for this handicap and instead side with GRAYLYN RUBY marginally ahead of New England. It would appear that the pick is running into a bit of form at the moment and only found an inform runner just too good when running on well last time. That was off a two pound lower mark but he has done well under heavier burdens so he should run well. New England has a six pound penalty to carry after a just holding on for a course and distance success in a seller last time. Looking back at his handicap form he is yet to convince under a load this high but in what looks a weak field he's entitled to go close. Watson's Bay was only three parts of a length behind the pick on their last meeting but since then he has left an impression that he needs a rating reprieve before scoring again. Takizada was well held in forth on her handicap bow on her latest effort but with three pounds removed from her load should go closer, however, in a very tricky race Graylyn Ruby is the percentage pick.
