The Storyteller and Golden Crusader to battle for the leading role. JENNIVAMOOSE (9) ran on well to score last time and looks hard to beat. More weight but drawn well and worth noting is unbeaten when third-up so expected to fire again. BLUESTONE (6) was runner-up behind Jennivamoose two back and meets her much better at the weights. Since then continued the super consistent form with a fast finishing second on the Lakeside track. Hard to hold out again. ST VINCENTS GARDEN (10) is a progressive type who was a winner in easier grade latest but won impressively. Williams sticks and drops nicely in the weights. Can feature. Likewise FISHERMAN'S BEACH (15) is a promising type worth following up. Resumed after a year break as favourite and was too good for maidens. Fitter and facing a massive weight drop for this. Expected to measure up again. JAYKAYANN (11) could be a value chance. Kept coming last time and with two wins at the track and distance should be in the mix again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Follow up on Jennivamoose.
