Just Flying to roll forward and dictate terms.
Lightly raced five-year-old AUTUMN WINTER (2) is the one with upside and momentum. Made it two in a row when he led all the way to take out a BM78 over 2400m at Warwick Farm last start. Won on a soft track two back at Wyong. Clearly good enough to test this field. JUST FLYING (1) started favourite and had his chance but was no match for the winner last time out over 2040m at Doomben. Yet to be tested at this trip but he keeps finding the line which is positive. Looks a serious contender. EL JASOR (4) was beaten under a length over this course and distance two back before struggling at the end of 2400m most recently. Prefer him on top of the ground - come right into calculations if the track dries out. SAINT EMILION (5) has turned in a couple of sound efforts since being sent to Queensland by Ciaron Maher. Key runner with Angela Jones aboard. PROCHESTER (10) keeps whacking away and under just 54kgs should be hard to hold out. SUGGESTED PLAY: Autumn Winter will be hard to stop.
