Verdict

PRIVATE JET (6) was nabbed late and then produced a strong chase at Mt Gambier to just miss the frame. Versatile with his pace and should be hitting his straps now. MY CRACKLING (9) hasn't won for some time but has peaks that measure right up for this. Loves the distance but will need a slice of luck from the draw. CROWN AND ANCHOR (5) was good fresh when holding down a minor placing at big odds. Better for that run and deserves far more market respect this time. CROWN AND ANCHOR (5) was solid at Clare when fighting gamely to be 1.1L away at the finish. Fitter now and maps for a soft run. Can be in this for a long way. GRUELLING (2) disappointed at Gawler first-up but is open to improvement now.
