Kilberry (Q.R.) Handicap

Beaten a short head into second last time out and a winner two starts back, Murat arrives here in excellent recent form on a quick 12-day turnaround, with experience over today's trip and going; the 174 lb burden is the one query, but his rating of 91 marks him as the one to beat.

The Mediator has shown consistent placing ability in recent starts, and his experience over today's trip and going is a clear plus at a weight of 168 lb; however, winless in his last five and returning just four days after his latest outing, the trainer's dire 3% strike rate over the past fortnight is the significant concern.

Consistently placed in recent starts, Whimsy has run over today's trip and going and her rating of 82 marks her as a genuine danger, yet winless in her last four and returning after 124 days off, the fitness query is the one concern.

Black Heather arrives here fourth two starts back and third four starts back, yet to win in recent starts, though our rating of 89 ranks him second of 17 and he has experience over today's trip and going; the main risk is that unplaced effort last time out.

Placed in two of his last three starts, Not Just Any Eagle arrives here 27 days fresh and has experience of today's trip and conditions, yet he remains winless in recent starts and a testing 165 lb burden under his current mark of 75 makes a step forward harder to predict.
