FormscanBy Alan Magee - Poet’s Pride had eight of these rivals behind when scoring over course and distance last time and the recent addition of blinkers appear to have rejuvenated the six-year-old. However, David Marnane’s charge has been given an 8lb hike for that decisive win and perhaps IT’S ALL A JOKE can reverse places. The selection has five career wins to his credit and can be expected to progress from that recent run, his first for present connections off a five-month break. He held a career high mark of 76 when with Archie Watson a few years ago and has tumbled right down to a basement rating. Motbeq (third), No Speed Limit (fourth) and Ahyoka (fifth) are others reopposing from that Poet’s Pride race to consider.
