Been a while since she managed only win; finished last of nine 24 days ago in a handicap; this line-up contains some strong opposition so not hard to turn elsewhere.

Verdict
BJORN IRONSIDE is a strong fancy. He had the reopposing Rondebosch behind last time and is a two-time course winner. One Fine Winter has run well previously over this C&D.
