Verdict
Stand Guard failed to land the odds here on Tuesday when seven lengths behind the resurgent Trans Sonic and OVERRULE looks a safer option. The latter has a bit to find at the weights on today's terms but landed a handicap in good style over C&D a fortnight ago and gets the vote. Maslak has been in decent form on the Polytrack though it's some time since he won on this surface, while Jodaura has yet to race on the Fibresand and was well beaten on his only previous attempt at 1m4f. Davana and Dawn Mystery look up against it in this company.
