RACE FIVE
JAMIES BAD BOY (6) has the wide gate to negotiate here, yet he has done everything asked of him since arriving in Aus. Completing a hat-trick of victories, the 3rd of those a tough effort over the 2138m in the breeze. Only beaten a neck last start, he can bounce back to winning form here.
MONTANA LAD (5) was snagged back from gate 7 last start to look for some luck up the peg-line that never arrived, yet he was strong to the line in finishing mid-field. A beaten fav here 2 starts back after just ending up too far back in the pack, if he can settle closer in transit, this is within reach.
ANOTHER STATEMENT (10) will take good benefit from his return to the track to kick-off his 3YO season when leading throughout from gate 1. Cruising home in that victory, he can swoop late here.
SIR SEMPER FIDELIS (3) should appreciate the front-line gate here after his past 4 appearances have been from the 2nd line. Closing out well behind BETTERTHANSPRAYING last start, he has podium claims in this.
