Solid tempo with several going forward headed by Private Jumbo. FARHH FLUNG (7) backs up from a gallant effort last week at Flemington, sitting midfield in a strongly run race and finding the line well for second to a good mare. He's knocking on the door and ready to win, he just needs a good ride from the wide draw. PRINCE OF HELENA (1) just missed in the Narrandera Cup last time and was solid behind Jimmy The Bear prior which reads well. In the mix. BUR DUBAI (3) is resuming from a break. Placed in latest jump-out at Cranbourne. Opened last campaign with a seventh at Caulfield over 1600m. Can give this a shake. SHOELESS (12) is stepping out at this track for the first time. Last appeared when he scored over 1600m at Morphettville on July 26. Must include. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Farhh Flung.
