Open Entry weights – Marton JC @ Awapuni

2140m – Sir Mikki (rating 73) is a 4-time winner on the synthetic. His last win was carrying 59.5kgs, where he attracted a 4-point rehandicap (2kgs). He was assigned 61.5kgs last start and was dropped 1 point subsequently. He is assigned 61.0kgs here.

1700m – Jack Morrison (70) has won 4 of his 7 starts on the synthetic, but in terms of weights carried was awkward to line-up here. Appropriate, given the make-up of the field to handicap as a Benchmark 70, thus 60.0kgs.

1400m – Doubtful Sound (75), is a winner of 5 synthetic races. He needed to be higher weight than Sir Mikki at last meeting (rating 74, weight 61.5kgs). And there was also a line through Showbastian Coe (72, 61.0kgs). He is assigned 62.0kgs.

1200m – Kana (77), has alignment with Sir Mikki, given the 2kg Fillies & Mares allowance. 61.0kgs appropriate.
