Inflection Point put a couple of moderate efforts behind him to land a claimer with a big weight earlier this month. He's won three times around here as has his stablemate Tai Sing Yeh, who led for a long way in that latter event but was beaten just over a length. LOVELY MANA completed a double in the UK last summer and made a promising start for new connections here last month when staying on over the minimum. She'll be suited by the extra and might just have the edge over Dream Today, though the latter only got a 3lb rise for last month's victory.
