Lack of early speed means Jedinak could find the lead. GIJIMA GAL (7) was better last start when finishing a narrow second over this journey at Tumut. Sets up well for this and is a leading contender. SORRY SUNSHINE (2) went to the paddock after scoring at his last appearance over 1600m at Albury. Is yet to strike fresh but generally races well with two minor placings. Right in this. LETHAL LADY (1) continues to knock on the door but just struggles to land the winning blow. 2kg claimer goes on to aid the big weight. Keep safe. PHILADELPHIA STORM (4) went better than his form suggests first-up, only beaten 1.7L. Strips fitter and will appreciate the added trip. Right in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Gijima Gal.
