WEST COAST (1) proved again why he is still a champion jumper when winning here nearly 3 weeks ago at a lucrative price. He carries the same weight , and he has to be the one to beat again. JAKAMA KRYSTAL (4) was the surprising favourite when finishing third behind the top pick in the same race last timeout, and she has top 3 claims again, and you will get a better price this time. LEADERBOARD (2) is back from competing in some of Australia's best jumping races, and he is as tough as they come. He will be up to the mark with his fitness, and he is sure to be ready to run a big race, despite the gap between runs. JUSTICE (9) fell in the same race as the top pick here last start, but he can make immediate amends. Each way. Follow your money. SMUG (8) is very capable in this role when his mind is on the job. He will be peaking third up, and is another with sound each-way claims. SUGGESTED PLAY: West Coast on top.
