Sophie's Beau came out best in a close finish over course and distance last time. He has a poor draw to overcome in this, however, and both Choc'A'Moca and Pull The Pin will be hopeful of turning the tables though the former had an engagement at Thirsk last night. Insolenceofoffice hasn't been done any favours by the draw either while Blue Noodles has so far done all his winning over longer trips. It could pay to stick with BONDI BEACH BOY despite a further 6lb rise for his latest success at Thirsk. He appears to do just enough to get his head in front and there could yet be more to come from James Turner's charge.
