Keke, our selection, holds a fine record in handicap company and, despite needing to bounce back from a below-par run last time, has shown he can both be held up and dictate matters from the front, a versatility that should suit this compact field. Likedbymike, who was below her best last time after some good form in better company, and the speedy Cardiff By The Sea, only in mid-division on her latest outing, look the principal dangers, while Howd'yadoit has a tougher weight to carry this time. On his overall claims, Keke is preferred for the day, with confidence still fairly guarded in a competitive heat.
