KAMBATI made a winning handicap debut at this level over 1450m from a wide draw and he remains ahead of the handicapper, so it could pay to follow his progress under a lenient 4-point penalty. Fellow last-start scorer MONKEY PUZZLE fits a similar profile so should acquit himself competitively. Consistent class-dropper ZIP CODE is dangerous at this level, especially off a reduced mark, though a wide draw does his chances no favours. BRAVE VIKING, SPACE MISSION and BAY EMPIRE also have the means to make their presence felt.
