Verdict

PRIVATE JET (6) was nabbed late and then produced a strong chase at Mt Gambier to just miss the frame. Versatile with his pace and should be hitting his straps now. MY CRACKLING (9) hasn't won for some time but has peaks that measure right up for this. Loves the distance but will need a slice of luck from the draw. KNIGHT DANCER (3) comes through two strong form races and should be nearing his peak third up. Expect Pannell to head back from the draw and be charging hard late. CROWN AND ANCHOR (5) was good fresh when holding down a minor placing at big odds. Better for that run and deserves far more market respect this time. BOLTED IN (1) is mixing his form but has a sharp turn of foot on his day. Can threaten if close enough when they straighten.
