SIR BILLY WRIGHT failed to land the odds stepped up to 7f here last time but he gets a chance to make amends in this similar grade. Summersault also came up short when starting odds-on over 5f here recently but still makes more appeal than Nelson's Pride. The latter has a bit to find with the selection at the weights and finished no closer in a handicap on his latest start. The remainder are even harder to fancy on what little they have shown to date with Windy Miller perhaps the best of them.
