A solid tempo on the cards with Crowie's Shout leading the way. SMART JAZZ (11) has led for the judge but been overwhelmed in the closing stages of his last couple of runs, both in Randwick Highways over much longer trips than this. Has a good record at this distance and likes getting the toe in so a form reversal is on the cards in this much easier assignment. CROWIE'S SHOUT (1) showed good early dash and raced on the speed last start before fading to finish four lengths back in fifth over 1175m at Grafton. Cherry ripe after three runs back and this looks a suitable race for him. SUPREME COMMAND (3) showed good early speed last start before fading to finish fourth over this track and trip. Emily Farr's claim will help on this occasion. Must be included among the main hopes. SCOTLAND (6) was outclassed last time out in a Class 6 over 1175m at Grafton. Boasts three wins from six tries at or around today's journey. Can feature in the finish. MOSGIEL DAISY (7) has a strong first-up record so count her in despite the gap between runs. SUGGESTED PLAY: Happy to be with Smart Jazz.
