Swerved badly right start, pulled hard and recovered by 2nd, always in rear, struggling approaching 3 out, tailed off when pulled up after 2 out op 10/3 tchd 7/2
Bandsman (5/4), Iron Horse (9/4), Aliandy (3/1), Sebastian Beach (7/2), Lady Kyria (6/1), Mauricio (8/1), Quids In (14/1), Final Choice (33/1)
Most of these have something to prove in current form but BANDSMAN won well over fences last time and is fancied to follow up back over timber for connections who have such an outstanding record at this venue. Sebastian Beach is respected and should go well but would ideally prefer a touch further, while the still unexposed Aliandy is not dismissed. Mauricio may take a step forward from a fairly tame seasonal reappearance last time.
