Britzka heads the weights on this first start since mid-September when pulled up at Listowel after an early mistake. He'd looked progressive when scoring twice at Perth last summer but is giving away a lot of weight to a couple of in-form rivals. MISSIEE has landed two of her last three starts, one over course and distance, in the hands of today's pilot and still looked on the upgrade when scoring cosily at Limerick at their Christmas meeting. She's up 8lb for the win but looks to have more to offer. Doyen Ta Win boasts a similar profile but has gone up 12lb for her last two wins, though still represents a potent threat.
