Steel Wave^p¹⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 11-1| J: T Scudamore| T: G Hanmer| OR: 109| BF| D

7/2

G'day Aussie^p,t²⁴⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Lee Edwards| T: Dave Roberts| OR: 108

12/1

Winner of four races including over an extended 2m at Newton Abbot (good-to-soft) last July. Decent efforts in two subsequent outings but probably best watched on return from a break.

Forecasts

Corri Lindo (3/1), Robin Des People (3/1), Steel Wave (7/2), Deputy Commander (13/2), Lord County (8/1), Derintoher Yank (9/1), Grove Silver (11/1), G'day Aussie (12/1)

ROBIN DES PEOPLE has shown good point-to-point form of late and he can make a winning return to handicaps on his first start for this stable. Lord County ran well to finish third last time out and he can claim second ahead of Steel Wave who is making his return to chasing.
