Expecting Highlands to lead Mr Jones at just a moderate tempo. Good little race with a few of them coming through the race won by Flying Start. GRINZINGER LASS (4) ran third in that race beaten 2.5 lengths. Meets the winner 2kg better and from the inside gate can turn the tables. FLYING START (1) drew clear and scored a strong win and is at peak. Has a good record at the mile and looks ready for it now, despite the extra weight. HIGHLANDS (2) was runner-up behind Flying Start and meets the winner better at the weights. Should run well again. GRINZINGER BISHOP (3) is the danger to all three. Better than last run over 2050m and comes back to the mile. Can atone. MR JONES (5) next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Grinzinger Lass can turn the tables.
