A wide-open handicap. WEE ALKI was only narrowly denied when runner-up in consecutive handicap hurdles at Kelso in May and may be able to go one better on first start following wind surgery. Justlikefire shaped encouragingly on his qualifying run and could improve now handicapping over a markedly longer trip. Robert D'ores has solid course form and looks interesting given his record when fresh, while the prospect of a strong pace would suit Star Vantage if he's ready to roll on his return.
