25/05/17 6:00 Sandown - System
2nd Jack Of Diamonds 16/1 - 60
3rd Boycie 7/1 - 50
These 3 were pretty close together in this.
Icebuster's last win came a year ago over todays distance 3lb higher than today. It was soft that day and he won't get that here, but its also a drop in class. He has run well over further lately, which is interesting, as this is a big drop. But it is a winning distance for him, in fact he has won twice at this distance and has only won 4 times in his career. His last win had Adam Kirby on board and Adam takes the ride again. He rode the horse last time out, so interesting he rides again.
Jack Of Diamonds hasn't won for over a year, but he comes here 15lb lower in the handicap. That was on Tapeta, and he hasn't won on turf for nearly 2 years, however he is dropping to a winnable, only 4lb higher than that win. So it could be interesting. He does like it here, and has run 7 times and only been out the top 3 twice. But only winning once. And once again he is probably playing for places but should go well.
Boycie is 1lb under his highest winning mark, so he needs to be at his best to win here. He gets on well with his jockey and the ground and track will be fine.
My Selection: Icebuster 11/1
