Verdict

JOHN OF JANE (1) looks to be above average after winning his last start by 4 lengths off a wide draw 12 days ago. He was beaten a nose fresh up, and should really be unbeaten in all of his 3 starts to date. On top. JAMMIN JIMMY (2) is a lightly tried 7YO gelding with issues at the start, and he now makes his local debut for Tammy Mollross after making the move from Victoria. He looked ready to rumble when winning a recent trial, and the market will be an important guide. GEEGEEHAILSTORM (3) ran on nicely from beyond midfield when finishing fourth fresh up at Launceston. She usually improves with racing, and though she may not win often, she can figure in the top 3 this time. CRYSTAL MOONBEAM (4) is a talented mare resuming from a spell with a recent trial under her belt. Both of her wins have been here over the trip, and she can make her presence felt. APRIL'S DANCE (6) needed her fresh up run here 12 days ago. Top hoop Anthony Darmanin sticks with her, and so do we.
