Race preview

RACKS CROSS finished down the field on her first outing since July 2020 at Kelso in December and the step up in distance on her handicap bow gives her a decent opportunity to open her account under Rules. Southeast Rose returned to form when staying on into fifth at Kelso over a shorter trip last month and she is capable of a decent showing here, along with Atlantic Dancer, who took a step back in the right direction when third here last time.
