what is the rule for this season regarding getting a handicap mark? is it two runs like last season?? or was that only a requirement for running in a G1??

reason I am asking is that say I was to upload 2x 5f 2yo to target the Queen Mary and the Norfolk and 2x 6f 2yo to target the 6f 2yo races then I won't be able to give each of these horses 2 runs by week 3. I might be wrong but if i've understood the rules for this season, then if by week 3 they don't have a handicap then they will not be able to enter handicaps plus they may not get to enter group/listed races based on limited entries with top rated horses getting priority.

Just looking for clarification on this as I'm trying to figure out which horses I should plan to upload.

I believe mate it was 1 run before a Group 1 but 2 runs before you could run in a hcap, things should be a lot easier this year as the first 2 weeks are mostly maidens l think so plenty of chances to get 2 runs in early
