|---|---|---|---|---|

Anticipating a genuine tempo over the 1000m journey. EPIC JEWEL (7) is a former Victorian who ran fifth at Pakenham on debut for the Griffiths yard before switching teams. Looks well placed here and can hit the ground running for the Healy yard. PIGEON (6) made her debut here a year ago and placed, then stretched out over further and further before contesting the NT Derby when safely held. Back to the Creek and can run well fresh off a long break. D'AMBIDEX (5) is a speedy galloper close to a win and will take catching. GOD'S EYE (4) was close to a win before disappointing last time and gets another chance in easier grade. SAXON BEACH (3) is a 20-start maiden but rates well on best figures. SUGGESTED PLAY: Epic Jewel can run well fresh.
