Verdict
Captain Jack could figure if fully wound-up and Man Of The Sea is only a pound higher than when last successful and was second off this mark at Fontwell earlier in the year but Balranald is only 1-27. EAGLE’S REALM is back in the right grade and can defy top weight at the main expense of Shuil Donn, a six-length winner at Southwell having a first start for new connections. Flashy Boy is making his handicap debut but hasn’t shown a great deal so far under Rules.
