Expecting Jazz All Knight to take up the running with Hellinda and Xerxes close at hand. Race decimated by scratchings leaving RUBI AIR (5) who won impressively here two back before finishing nicely last start at Goulburn on top. Drawn well here and she creates some interest on her recent form. ELLISMAYNE (11) wasn't beaten far last start from up on the speed and has switched stables to the Olive barn since. Should be primed for a big run. JAZZ ALL KNIGHT (9) will take some catching from the front if she can hold her recent good form. Returned from a spell last start and finished just a head from the winner in second at Canberra Acton over 1206m. Can give this a shake. HELLINDA (1) five-year-old gelding who drops in trip from the latest outing when sixth over 1435m at Moruya. In the mix on best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 5,11,9.
