Verdict

Just a field of three which will suit the racing pattern of JUNGLE RHYTHM (2) in the opener. Scored convincingly first-up over 5 ½f here then couldn't get involved against some smart types in town last start. Should be very tough to hold out this time. AVGAS (4) overcame a tardy start to get up for second on debut recently over 5 ½f at Mackay. Nicely placed over an extra ½f today and can go one better without surprising. DOUBTWILLY (3) started at big odds and ran accordingly first-up at Doomben a fortnight ago. Strips fitter and with little pressure here could give them something to catch.

2	Third-up today. Resuming ran on from midfield and won by 1.5 len at this track 2yo Mdn June 19 over 5 ½f in soft going defeating Power Of Angeline with 130lbs at $6.50. Second run from a spell ran second last of 9 at Doomben 2yo Hcp on July 18 over 6f, on a slow track, 6 len behind Tengun Tommy with 125lbs at $41. Profiles nicely. Better suited back to this grade - the one to beat. 1st Pick 2 Jungle Rhythm Jockey: Ryan Wiggins Trainer: Liam Birchley J: Ryan Wiggins T: Liam Birchley	207	-	-	-	36%
