Tricky race. IS IT ME (2) has won his past two and will take some beating again. He came away at Caulfield over 1200m last time when well backed and whilst he's up in grade here this isn't much harder and should go close. JUNGLE JIM (1) has been building in three runs this time in, only run down late at Moonee Valley last time out. That form times in with Is It Me and he's going to take some catching. JENNY JEROME (6) was good first up at Moonee Valley. She may want a bit further now but will be charging at them late down the outside. TURF DECISION (5) was solid over 1000m first up at Murray Bridge. Suited to this trip and should be competitive. EBONY KING (8) was good first up here over 1100m and the extra trip will suit.
