Disappointing last month but won in February and could bounce back with a bold bid

19-race maiden who comes with risk attached but he might not be far away if breaking okay

Went close on AW recently; it remains to be seen if he's still fully effective on turf
10 (2)	Juryman Bay J:Joanna Mason T:Jacqueline Coward	J:Joanna Mason T:Jacqueline Coward	127	—	76070-	52	74	59	276d	—	—	-1	1.1	10.00/1	40/1 2%
