FormscanBy Michael Graham - KEKE very rarely puts in a sub-par performance and won a different five-furlong sprint on this card last year. Eddie Lynam's charge actually won four handicaps last year which saw him rocket through the grades. He has posted two fair efforts in this campaign which show that he can compete off marks in the 90s. This is a drop in class for Ostraka and she is a former course and distance winner. Bold Optimist finished third in a good sprint over course and distance last month and is now 1lb lower than his last winning mark. The expected rain will suit Thunderbear more than most, but he has tended to need his seasonal reappearance run.
An extended handicap for three years old and upwards (100 = 10st)Penalties - (after calculation of the handicap) A winner shall carry 7lb extra for each race won.
