GOING: G

Jrm Resources Mdn 1000m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear   Rail: Out 5m.  

Speed anticipated from Denga, Gunflint, Stratum Pass and Excaro. Excaro can lead. TEXAS MOON was wide but okay in much stronger at Ascot and looks well placed back in Maidens. The previous two reads well for this and he should be okay crossing over. DENGA is knocking on the door but is also drawn out. He's right in it. PLANET FEVER improved placing the latest and gets Harvey who will use the rail. GUNFLINT debuts off two strong trials and watch the market closely with him. SUGGESTED PLAY: Very keen on Vital Blast in his return.
