State Of Maine or Eire To The Jungle to lead the small field. Tough. DARK HARMONY (3) doesn't win often (none of these do) but is certainly up to it on his best. He struggled last week at Hamilton but a few runs earlier in the campaign in tougher company read nicely for this. Each-way up on speed. STATE OF MAINE (6) has been thereabouts in three runs back, just finding one better at Coleraine two back before a sound effort at Hamilton in this grade. Doubt she needs to do a whole lot more. MR CHARISMATIC (4) only has the 1 win from 17 but comes back a notch in grade here and can figure on best form. EIRE TO THE JUNGLE (1) is another on 1 from 17. The run three back at Moe is good enough to win this. GARGANTUAN (5) struggled at Naracoorte last time but is a hope on two runs prior. SUGGESTED PLAY: Dark Harmony each-way.
