GOING: F

CONDELL PARK PRODUCE PACE 1609m

Track: FAST      

It's been a while since we've seen LUX AETERNA (6) at her very best but she has been tackling much stronger opposition than this. Has had seven weeks off since her last appearance in the Queen Elizabeth II Mile but has trialled twice in that time, winning the latest. Has impressive strike rates both here and at the distance. Gets her chance for an overdue win. JILLIBY FABIO (5) has been performing well since he last raced here, winning three in a row before placing from the back row last start. Can continue the good form. LOCHINVAR JAG (8) draws wider tonight but the form is sound, beaten just over 4m here last start to follow back-to-back Brisbane wins. Can feature with even luck. STILL ROLLIN (10) draws wide but has won two of his last four in Brisbane and goes well at this distance. OUR GEORGE BOSTON (3) is racing well enough to be competitive from the favourable barrier.
