OCEANIC FLASH (5) is making his jumps debut. He's a handy stayer on the flat having placed at Flemington over 2520m just three runs back. His jumps trials have been fine and he should go well. PRESSFAL (6) made his jumps debut at Warrnambool over 3200m and ran well for third, beaten 4 lengths. Better for that and will take beating here. FREDDY THE EAGLE (3) was just behind Pressfal there at his jumps debut. Expecting the Wilde camp to have him improved for this from the inside draw. WILEWINK (9) started favourite in his jumps debut last time and ran well for second. Prior to that he won on the flat over 2700m at Stawell. Should go close. SUGGESTED PLAY: Oceanic Flash on top.
