A competitive field goes to post for this handicap with many in form rivals in opposition including Twice Upon A Time. Sierra Vista and Karminsky Park and we will take a chance on Twice Upon A Time. The filly from the Brian Smart yard won well last time out when defeating Mary Jane and although she has risen in the weights she is still well in on her form of a couple of seasons ago and with conditions in her favour she will be hard to beat. Sierra Vista ran as if returning to form when third behind Brigadore last time an she will not be far away despite top weight. Karminsky Park is another in fair form but ran as if the handicapper had caught up with him when third behind Hiccups last time. Of the remainder Mimic and Haze Babybear are both in form and are from top yards so any market confidence should be noted but we are happy to side with Twice Upon A Time.
