JEWEL BAY looks suited with the drop in class from Saturday metro $80k company in BM70 back to BM62. Run was better than it looked as he was laying in then has to avoid a tiring runner on the fence. Thought the last 100m was pretty good for longer trip. PLACENTIA showcased the enormous training talents of S Jackson when coming off a massive spell (Dec 2024) and battled on bravely to place. Will improve with that stretch of the legs under raceday conditions. Metro performer last preparation. RAZANNE may have been feeling the effects of a hard run /win first up referencing the market thought she was $1.55 worth at 1618m last preparation on dry ground so expected she would get that trip. TWO SIGMA ran a shocker last time, but trusting stable are happy to keep going. Previous run with COT back, found trouble. Won't have to surrender as much early from inside barrier here. BANK HEIST and AUTOMAX both aiming for three-peat.
