The penultimate race on the card is a tricky 15 runner handicap and the finish should be fought out between DISPOL KYLIE, Frisbee and Sir Nod with the vote going to the first named. The selection has an awful lot going for it today, good draw, good form and a good jockey in Joe Fanning. His latest second second to La Capriosa reads very well and if coping with the step up in trip he should be hard to beat. The main danger to the selection would appear to be Sir Nod who flopped last time on the fibresand. The return to turf should and with Paul Hanagan in the plate, Sir Nod should be in the shake up. Frisbee would be a danger if fit but has a 161 day absence to overcome. A rating 0f 65 is quite lenient and she should be winning races this year. Mel Brattain's string is in decent nick and Jimmy Quinn is an interesting booking on Caranbola. She has come along way down the handicap but has a bad draw to overcome.
