ADMIRAL BOND makes most appeal in the nightcap and he is preferred to the likes of Cocktail Party and Head To Head. There was only a nose between Head To Head and Admiral Bond here last week and as Head to Head has a high draw and penalty to overcome tonight, we are confident that Admiral Bond can prevail. Cocktail Party was a little unlucky in that same race and with Jamie Spencer taking over in the plate tonight she is certainly of interest, although she has yet to win on the all-weather. Magic Glade has a good draw and he has won over the course and distance, but his recent form has been a little disappointing. The draw would be a negative for Sir Loin and he is opposed, leaving Admiral Bond as a confident choice.
