Jim Bolger's New Direction has been in super form of late, landing two of his last three starts and as a previous C&D winner he must be respected. Breathe Easy also loves it around here, with four wins already, and will be a serious threat to all if his stamina holds out over this longer journey. Zeftan has no such worries having scored over C&D on three previous occasions and while Miles To Memphis may lack Flat experience, he could have a say. SANDSTORMING however is improving as he showed when winning a week ago at Bellewstown over this trip. With the Lyons team operating at close to 25% recently, he is given the nod to take this prize.
