PAT'S OSCAR has already won in handicap company and returned to beat a field of novices last time in a manner that suggested there is a fair bit of improvement to come back in this sphere, so she gets the vote. Perfect Leader could make his mark on the contest, while Killahara Castle and Pump Road have little weight to shoulder and can get involved. The fly in the ointment could prove to be Feeling The Love, who has also been improving and looks reasonably treated for her handicap intro. A market check is strongly advised.
