DAJEN found this assignment exactly to his liking last time and after a decent win he is given the nod to follow up in preference to Granny McPhee with Kladester also making some appeal. The pick beat home an inform animal on that run on his first visit here last time and with that victory a little more cosy than the margin suggests he can overcome his penalty especially with a capable conditional removing some of that burden. Granny McPhee found life a little tough when trying to follow up a victory with less than 24 hours to recover on her last effort and now fully rested she might be worth giving another chance to off this revised mark. Kladester has a bit to do after being held by the pick on their last meeting but he's consistent and should feature. Justcallmehandsome has a good record here and after finishing a close-up fourth of ten off this rating last time he has to be noteworthy but in a tricky closer Darjen won well enough last time to suggest he's not done yet.
