Verdict
It could pay to stick with WHITE RHINO in this given he’s won all three starts in handicaps so far, including a couple over course and distance. Bertie Blue has plenty to find with the selection but Swapped may do better now handicapping having undergone a breathing operation. Inchester D'Amsyl is another making his handicap debut while Heros will appreciate this return to faster going and is preferred to Sageburg County. Ripper Roo slips further down the weights while stablemate Fletch returns to action with a shout.
