Pharoah's Glory to take up the running with Matthew Mark and Vincentina close at hand. Few in form ones here. JET JITSU (1) is flying having made it back-to-back wins when successful last start over 1620m at Donald, getting home by 1.5 lengths. He can go on with the job again. LICENSE TO EXCITE (5) is another in top form lately scoring two wins on end, including a determined 0.8 lengths win over 1483m at Kyneton last time. Has strong winning claims again here. NILE CROCODILE (7) ran a better race last start to finish a close third when second-up over 1717m at Sale. Peaks now and suited this class, big chance. VINCENTINA (9) is racing well with back to back placings, close up at Donald latest in this grade. Bates on for the Maher yard and drawn well warrants plenty of attention. SUGGESTED PLAY: Jet Jitsu on top.
