Sir Lunchalots should lead and control the tempo. UNOWHO (2) has been solid since landing in the Jarvis stable, going close last start at Nowra under 61.5kg. Drops 1kg this time, but importantly puts himself on the speed from a good draw. Nearing a drought-breaking win and finds the right race this time. SUPER ACHIEVER (11) steps right up in trip today for the first time in an interesting move. The stable jockey comes down to ride and there's enough there to suggest she can be thereabouts at the finish. Not the worst.. FINAL COMMENT (1) drops back in grade and rises in trip in what looks a smart move by the stable. Sinclair's claim comes in handy and with a good draw on offer, he'll be there when the whips are cracking. REGION TIME (7) is hard to knock on recent form and is not to be discounted. SUGGESTED PLAY: Unowho goes on top.
