KOYBIG gave notice of an imminent victory when beaten a head here in October then went one better on a return visit last month. He can surprisingly race off the same mark so looks set for a quick double. Park Row was only narrowly beaten on his penultimate start over the track and trip but his two course victories have been over further. Tom Dooley has won four times on the surface but never over this far while Complicit may just have lost his chance of gaining a first victory on the track as he'd dropped to a very lowly mark when beaten a short-head a fortnight ago and is back up 3lb. La Cumparsita was having only her sixth start when scoring over 7f here last month where she stayed on strongly so the longer trip shouldn't be a problem.
