Ga Law jumped like an old hand when making a winning start over fences over a slightly longer trip here and the third franked the form at Warwick earlier this month. He goes straight into handicaps rather than carrying a penalty in novice company but this is no easy task. Dustin Des Mottes has yet to win since joining Richard Newland but is starting to look well handicapped and will likely be ready for his reappearance. Connections of Little Light will be praying for rain but he is high enough in the weights now. FLAMINGER lost his way a little at the start of the year but he was impressive in heavy ground here and at Plumpton earlier and still has time on his side. He makes more appeal than stablemate Waikiki Waves.
