Following horses that had no luck in running last time can be a costly experience but Sandy Lady is given the benefit of the doubt and she is taken to enhance her Bunbury Cup claims today. Pat Eddery gets on very well with her and it will be no surprise to see the former champion make more use of her in the early stages to avoid any trouble this time. Highland Shot is feared as a big danger and should not be too far away; she is still open to improvement despite her steady rise in the weights. However, the booking of Kieren Fallon for Effervesce may prove to be significant, as she has already proved that she has the stamina for this sort of trip.
