Verdict

The idiom 'horses for courses' often rings true at Sandown and GUNSIGHT RIDGE, who made it two wins from four starts at this course (placed on other two occasions) when seeing off Dr T J Eckleburg in this race last season, is taken to enhance his good record round here. He has far lower mileage than most 11-y-os and is back down to the same mark as 12 months ago. Dr T J Eckleburg could again prove dangerous and is feared most ahead of the rock-solid Escapeandevade and novice Jax Junior.
