---|---|---|---|---|
Expecting them to go at an even tempo with Abreed and Huntly Castle to be up on the speed. LINCOLN KING (6) was a good flat performer then scored narrowly on his jumps debut at Ballarat. Is going to take improvement from that outing and has since schooled here. Expect a bold showing. AFFLUENTIAL (7) landed his maiden win when successful at his jumps debut at Pakenham and backed that up with his maiden flat win. Has finally found winning form and can go on with it. CUSTOM OF THE SEA (9) is a former Irish jumper who showed his potential two starts back winning on the flat at Ballarat. Will be improved by the most recent jumps outing. Has to be respected. JEKYLL'N'HYDE (4) has been racing soundly on the flat this campaign and did win a recent hurdle school here. Will be further improved and cannot be left out of the calculations. SUGGESTED PLAY: Back Lincoln King and Affluential to win.
