BRITISH COLUMBIA (10) was off a long break at Sandown and was only edged out by a fit and firing winner. We see that form in the race prior. Looks solid and British Columbia is sure to come on for what was his first run in eight months. 1400m is the ideal trip and he is drawn to stalk what should be a good pace throughout. Draw is not as kind to VICTORY BAY (9) who has been left running on but all too late in his last couple. Going really well and sure to appreciate getting into a race that will be strongly run. BLOW IN (14) was solid first up. Tougher but he can improve. MISO (17) and HESKET (19) are no stars but both are racing well and can be around the mark in this.
