GOING: G

Fpag (Bm60) 2050m

Track: GOOD 4   Mostly Clear   Rail: True (Twilight Meeting).  

Pace from Eureka Sky from the middle. ST GEORGES VAULTS looks nicely placed here. Runner up in town two back then not far away again in town latest. Well back in class here and gets chance to break through. JIMMYTOWN JEWEL has been runner up last two and looks the biggest danger. At peak now and should go close. EUREKA SKY is a last start winner here at the same journey. Harder here but in form and worth including. TAILGUNNER has been edging towards a win and looks an each way chance. ANTIPAS is next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: St Georges Vaults gets chance.
