Solid tempo expected primarily from Eskimo. Good field for what is a qualifier for a race at Flemington during Cup Week. LULU DARLING (1) was a good winner in BM70 grade first up and has been far from disgraced in stronger races than this in two runs since. Still has a lot of weight, even after the claim, but has a nice draw. JET JITSU (9) is a backmarker with a strong finish, so he might get buried from the inside alley but only needs clear running in the straight to be a factor. SPYLARK (5) was good when resuming from a long spell and will be better for the outing. SUGGESTED PLAY: Lulu Darling to win.
