STERN IDOL (1) is the class jumper in the field and should be winning again. He got the job done by 2.5 lengths at his return to the caper last time at Pakenham and should strip much fitter for that. At this trip he's the best jumper in the country. INSTIGATOR (7) won a steeple here three back before Mighty Oasis turned the tables last time. Back down in the weights here. Can figure. BRITANNICUS (2) won this last year. Needs dry ground and is very good when he gets it so monitor conditions. MIGHTY OASIS (5) enjoyed a return to jumping last time to salute (3250m) at Ballarat by 1.3 lengths. Hard to fault on his recent run. SUGGESTED PLAY: Stern Idol to win.
