Comments: A bit of an entertainment theme with our three selections today. Gawler 4-6 The Big Bay Band has been steaming home over shorter trips and it makes you wonder why they haven't stepped him up before. He's $10 on the morning line but will start about half those odds and looks a top chance. Gold Coast 4-1 Winnie's Band steps up in trip and has to lump a big weight. I don't like it or the other favourite, Sudden Storm. Perhaps Miss Falsterbo can go on from her OK first run and be a threat at good odds. Sandown 3-10 La Chasseuse flogged them here first up last time in and must be a fair chance to run a good race in what is a pretty strong race. Horses on the limit weight in handicaps have a much poorer record than those above the limit, of course, but in these new ratings band races it seems that the record is even worse so bear that in mind when assessing this one's odds.

Black Book: Sandown 5-3 In The Shadows won for us at double figure odds first up and then won at $5 last time out. He and Chairmanoftheboard, who beat our black booker Formal Attire last time, look the two chances in the race.
