In depth
Verdict
Zonik is up 6lb for landing a course and distance handicap last week but a similar run would put him in the frame. MISS ABBY JOOLS gave notice of an imminent success when placed here in September and duly obliged on a return visit a couple of weeks later. She's on the upgrade and can defy a 6lb rise though Tynamite is always dangerous around here having won five times on the track. Dark Street is still a maiden but has run very well here the last twice following a break and should be winning soon.
