FLEETWOODSANDS carries a penalty for last week's victory over track and trip but has little to beat dropping down a grade and can follow up. Bladewood Girl had been getting closer before a poor effort last time and has the beating of Appyjack, Fairy Mist and Chandrayaan on earlier running at the track. Byrd In Hand and Fire King are closely matched on collateral form though the latter is preferred having tumbled down the weights and looks the chief danger to the selection.
