Genuine tempo from Catrien leading Runthruthejungle.

WONDERFUL TONIGHT (5) made progress last time out, finishing 2.75 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 1600m at this track.Main danger. FIRE FORCE (3) is yet to break through after 33 starts. Placed two back then last time out was fourth, beaten 2.75 lengths, over 1900m at Greyville. Blinkers added this time. Has ability and expected to feature. PEEPING TOM (7) finished seventh two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1900m at Greyville, beaten just 1.1 lengths. Well placed and can figure in the finish again.
