FormscanBy Mark Nunan - WAJAAHA was a useful dual-purpose performer for Charles Byrnes and ran his best race for current connections when second over an extended 1m2f here last time. Dan King got a good tune out of the eight-year-old on that occasion and retains the partnership on the course and distance winner who might be able to defy a 4lb higher mark. Fairytale Princess was a ready winner over a shorter trip here before being narrowly denied over course and distance. She's likely to contend from just a 1lb higher mark. Cosmic Lady ran okay in a couple of maidens and is fitted with cheekpieces for her handicap debut. Both her dam and grandam were all-weather winners which makes her of interest on her first visit here.
An extended handicap for three years old and upwards rated 47-70Penalties - (after calculation of the handicap) A winner shall carry 7lb extra for each race won.
