Verdict

JIGSAW (1) was an absolute marvel last time in, winning seven in a row including a G1 in New Zealand, a G1 William Reid Stakes here and The Quokka in Perth. He cruised around in a recent barrier trial and gets every chance to keep the ball rolling first up from the inside gate. REY MAGNERIO (2) was only a long neck behind Jigsaw in The Quokka and 1.3 lengths behind in the William Reid. 5 ½f around here is a lovely spot for him and he's got the turn of foot to win. INKARUNA (7) is the one with race fitness, only narrowly beaten by Point Barrow and Bridal Waltz last time. She draws well and can win. FLYING FOR FUN (8) got home well in a messy race fresh, she's got plenty of ability and J-Mac goes aboard. GRAND LARCENY (6) was heavily bet to win a G3 in Adelaide first up last campaign then just missed in the G1 Goodwood. Respecting.
