Kick On Dottie is two from two around here but has yet to prove she stays this far and has to give 8lb to Irish raider THE JAM MAN, less Billy Garritty’s allowance. Ronan McNally’s charge was only beaten half-a-length at Perth in April when attempting a four-timer. He has won over further than this, though encounters quicker ground for the first time under Rules. Second Time Around has won a bumper but is 0-5 over hurdles, though has shown some improvement lately. Native Optimist is slipping down the weights but still 9lb higher than when last successful.
