The Halford/Collins yard has been in excellent form over the past few weeks and Doctor Grace was brought with a timely late run to gain her second track and trip victory last month. She's been raised 5lb but probably has more to give. Runner-up Moondharrig was only beaten a neck on his handicap debut so there's unlikely to be much between them again. RHYTHM AND TYNE (NAP) is another with more to offer and was having just his second start for Charles Byrnes when scoring over the course and distance. Well supported that day, he can defy a 5lb rise and complete a double. Runner-up Nawraq did his best to lose his maiden tag and can reach a place again.
