Isolate stepped up nicely to oblige over course and distance last time and has an obvious claim under similar conditions after being raised an acceptable 5lb. Darebin is also a course and distance winner who scored last time and has a massive edge in experience over the King runner with 34 chase starts to his name. The ground is a possible concern but he should be involved. Zoffee remains hard to get a handle on but is well treated and Generous Day probably needed the run last time. The same comment applies to FAIRWAY FREDDY, who has won here and now has his ground. He's been dropped 3lb and Tabitha Worsely claims a very handy additional 5lb.
