Verdict

EAGLEFURTHER (5) took up the running last timed wasn't for catching, scoring over few of these. Remains unbeaten this course and distance winning both tries. Nicely weighted again with the claim and will take running down off the low draw. SIR JAG (6) was runner-up in the same race and continues to race well. Meets the winner worse at the weights but expected to feature. THISISMYTURF (9) is overdue and looks one of the major hopes. MILES 'N' MILES (3) ran well fresh to place and strips fitter. Worth following up. JOHNNIE PINCH (2) is back in Tassie and can improve sharply on Victorian results.
