FormscanBy Tom Weekes - DAPPLED LIGHT was out-paced over a mile when running well last week and despite dropping a furlong, should be much sharper following that reappearance run. All four of his half-siblings have won races and while he didn't show much in maidens, has a low rating for handicaps and today's rider claims 2lb. Pub Talk ran well over an inadequate distance last week and while stepping back up in distance should help, he concedes 23lb to the selection. Monophonic is closely matched, and 1lb better off, with Pub Talk on a November run but was well held subsequently. Doctor Grace ran well over course and distance in November, with exposed Fendi finishing third, but faces a tougher task.
