Jewels Statement, Speedy Target and Whitsunday Session to match motors but there will be other pressure. JEWELS STATEMENT (2) back in grade after gripping on strongly on resumption when third over 1000m at the Gold Coast in C3. Goes just as well second up and will prove hard to run down. DIZE (1) well supported on resumption when leading throughout for an effortless victory over 900m at Wellington. Gets weight relief again with the claim and has the figures to take this out. VACILLATION (7) comes up from Victoria and now in the Maryann Brosnan yard. Kept fresh for this after running seventh over 1300m at Ararat on February 16. Sure to be strong late. PICUPSTIXX (11) a win looks imminent after sticking on well to finish second over 1175m at this track. Barrier helps and strips fitter now. AYE AYE SKIPPER (4) returns from a 48-day let-up and assess on his strong win two back at Walcha. Value prospect. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 2,1,7,11.
