Plenty with claims in this including Piselli Molli, who went close in a higher grade at Kempton last week. Sir Sedric won at Newcastle before beaten here while Courtside and Visibility are others with a shout off their current marks. Chookie Dunedin won over track and trip last month with CUSTARD THE DRAGON (NAP) less than a length behind. Eight times a winner on the old Fibresand surface here, the latter seems equally at home on Tapeta and another bold bid is expected from John Mackie’s stalwart.
