Owner Occupier's recent success came over fences where he seems more proficient but at least his wellbeing was confirmed and he's on a lowly mark here. At the opposite end of the handicap is Citrus Mark, pulled up on his first start for Graeme McPherson when looking right out of sorts. His yard is now in excellent fettle and he could be one to note on this first start back over timber for more than two years. Vertige Dore and Handsome Buddy are best watched and a real chance is taken with IKTIVIEW. The Sheppard inmate looks in the grip of the assessor having posted a series of mid-division finishes but at least the ability seems intact and his best recent effort came when upped to a staying trip at Sedgefield. Hopefully, he'll offer some each-way value at least.
