Satish Seemar has had a couple of winners already and BEACHCOMBER can add to the tally. He made his debut over the track and trip a year ago and led for a long way before fading close home. It’s a concern that he hasn’t run subsequently but a chance is taken on his fitness. Roy Orbison, who is in the same ownership, has disappointed since a bright start while Dirilis Ertugrul has had enough chances. Imprison looked a likely future winner when runner-up over 7f at Jebel Ali then found 6f much too short on his next start on this track. Doug Watson’s newcomer Coded is another in the same ownership as the selection and he’s a half-brother to an all-weather winner in Canada.
