PRIVATE JUMBO gave a great sight in one of these races at Sale. This time Team Templeton choose not to claim 3kg. The 63kg will be a challenge but around his home track, he has to be a chance. ITSUKUSHIMA deserves a win after 4 straight 2nds and all of them are narrow defeats. On paper it's an ugly draw but it might be as simple as following PRIVATE JUMBO across. There's not much other pace (on paper!!). SAMURAI STAR went much better at Cranbourne in one of these when ridden quietly and for luck inside. Think ultimately SO SUAVE will be the best horse out of this race. He did enough 1st up. Up to 1600m in a weaker race, he should be competitive.No pilot listed for BAFFLECK but if he's here he's a must. He has jumped out well. He won a 1600m maiden fresh last prep. FLAG FLYER is going well. He's drawn to box seat. He fought hard in a race like this last time. Like the way DAISY MAY went 1st up and the change to Luke Nolen. Maybe she wants 2000m. Betting? CHANTRA has plenty of upside after winning her maiden. 8yo mare NIGHT ERUPTION is flying. A strong 1600m is the niggle and of course her poor winning record.
