Verdict

SAINT FOX (11) is a Frankel colt who ran well on debut at Geelong when in the market, sticking on nicely for third behind a smart winner. Better for that and 7f will suit ideally. With scratchings taking away some key dangers he's very well placed. JUST LIKE JAGGER (6) has been good in three runs to date, handling heavy well enough on debut before a costly defeat at Mildura. Did a bit wrong last time at Geelong but is showing ability and will take beating. FARSIDE (5) wasn't beaten all that far first up at Seymour in a decent maiden. He'll strip fitter for that and maps well up on speed. CLUX STAR (8) backs up quickly and will be rock hard fit which helps.
