Formscan - BALGEES TIME (13) won well enough on 8 January over the course & distance to suggest he can defy the two kilos penalty. He is from an in-form yard and can take home this last race reserved to lady-amateur riders. NOTRE HISTOIRE (6) was an eye-catching finisher at this course two starts ago and has every chance on the back of this effort. CAVANI KAIZEN (1) has yet to score at this track but he has run well there before and can be included in calculations. Well-placed in the weight, ULTRA MARINO (3) is another to consider for the shortlist.
