CLEAR EYES (5) was a course and distance placegetter (29.64) last time also from the same draw, finishing a 1.5 lengths third in a HCP. Worth following up. JACKTAVERN JAX (4) in the money last time at this track (29.57) in a HCP, finishing a 1.5 lengths third. Can hit the frame with the right run. A BIT OF HUNTER (2) is mixing his form recently. Nice effort to finish second two runs back at this track then switched to the handicaps when starting off 7m from the scratch dog and finished fourth, beaten 5 lengths, at this track over 480m (29.88). Tackles another handicap here and will jump from the 10m mark. Happy to give him another chance. BRAMBLE EMERALD (6) followed a minor placing at this track two runs ago with a sound second, beaten half a length, last start when starting off scratch in a handicap at this track over 480m (29.56). Will jump off scratch. Genuine handicapper who has 17 wins and 22 placings from 59 runs from the staggered start. Not out of the equation.

Comments

Has been mixing her form in handicaps. Nice effort to finish third two runs back when jumping from the 10m at this track then only managed fifth, beaten 7 lengths, last start and jumping from a 10m advantage at this track over 480m (30.09).
