Like most of this bunch, Miserere Mei has an aversion to winning but is usually in the mix and had Fantasy Fighter and Chateau Lola behind when second here last time. Rightcar is a dual course and distance winner and finished ahead of Deveze at this track last week but the token vote in a poor handicap goes to CHES JICARO. The lightly-raced five-year-old only made his debut in December last year and after showing a bit more when fourth here last time, he may well reverse recent running with Miserere Mei and come out best today.
