Sedge, Bodden Bay and Ayam Jamtan are three against the field in another tough race to call for punters and the vote is given to Sedge. The selection has been running well without winning of late but was a fair second behind The Cayterers last time, that form has since been franked and under similar conditions here he will be hard to beat. Bodden Bay would be a big danger on his best form but he just gave the impression the handicapper had caught up with him last time and again he looks vulnerable off this mark. Ayam Jamtan is another that could go well as she looks on a handy mark but he has given the impression of late he would be suited by a longer trip and is passed over for that reason. Of the remainder the booking of Paul Hanagan for Attacca catches the eye and he should be noted in the market but for the winner we return to Sedge who sets a fair standard and will be hard to beat.
