    Verdict

    SANDRIDGE LAD is much better at this track than elsewhere and a hat-trick of course and distance wins looks on the cards. John Ryan’s sprinter defied a 5lb penalty when scoring by four lengths last week and can do the same in this. Zapper Cass recorded a double over the minimum trip here in January but has failed to figure the last twice while Robero’s recent successes on the Fibresand have been over longer distances. Course regular Samovar was placed yet again last time but has done most of his winning over 5f.
