Strong tempo from Twilight Warrior, Mister Nibbles and Radu. JAZZ FESTIVAL (5) returns from a layoff of three months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1600m at this track. Resuming in easier grade and expected to go close. RUN TO RIO (11) gets out over more ground today on the back of some solid form of late, the most recent effort a fourth over 1400m at Greyville All Weather. Has a solid record here and has been racing in richer company so will be hard to stop. TWILIGHT WARRIOR (7) ran below expectations last time at this track, finishing 13th and beaten 7 lengths starting at $5. Mixing form but trip suits. Can atone for a modest effort last time. POWER STAR (6) ran a better race when second up last time out, finishing fifth over 2000m at this track. Fitter and should be in the finish.
