FormscanBy Tom Weekes - HAVANA NOTION was a well backed beaten-favourite last month but steps up a furlong, which could suit. A sibling to nine winners, including ones at Group 3 and Listed level, his maiden form was ordinary and is drawn wide in 16 today but showed improvement when staying on nicely at the finish last month. Bright Dick has done most of his racing over this course and distance and ran well when second from 1lb lower last month, beating today's first reserve Pub Talk into third. Knockmore Prince showed improvement on his reappearance run on handicap debut over course and distance last month and can continue to progress. Alfarida is consistent in handicaps but might find a few too strong while well-bred Memorial Verse is out of a Group 3 winner and drops in grade on handicap debut. Distillate and Little Keilee were fourth and fifth respectively behind the selection last month while Twentynine Palms runs in her first handicap wearing first-time cheekpieces.
