Race Preview

On weights and measures, it looks another ideal race for HARRY'S YACHT (2) who continued his good form this campaign with a nice win at Geelong in BM84 company last time out. He drops 4kg off that and gets in well, just rising to 1600m for the first time is an unknown, but he should get every chance to run it out here. RESET THE JAZZ (3) was off a freshen in the Coastal Classic at Geelong last time and tried hard in third. He can strip fitter here and prove hard to get by. JIMMY THE BEAR (1) has to concede all of these 7kg. That's no easy feat, but he is the class of this field. Two runs back have been just okay, albeit in better company than this, and he gets to his pet trip now. SOMEWHERE (5) was well ridden on speed to score here last time, dropping 4kg off that. He's handy but did look short in early betting when opening equal favourite. MERRIGOLD (4) is unknown at this trip but going well.
