So where does that leave one of our true jumping stars, Amanood Lad, topweight for tomorrow's $75,000 Grant Plumbing Wellington Steeplechase? By Mike DillonThe Wellington Steeplechase tends to end in wet cement and Amanood Lad has 70.5kg topweight. Amanood Lad has 70.5kg topweight, which makes him potentially vulnerable late in the race to lightweights such as Crash Bandicoot with 65kg. This will be the topliner's first look at Trentham, the reason for this appearance going back nearly 12 months. Trainer Ben Foote was disappointed last winter when Amanood Lad went into the big one, Ellerslie's Great Northern, with what he considered to be a gallop or two short.
