Verdict

JAMES IN CHARGE (6) has not raced since he was successful by 2.75 metres at this track over 1 ?m four-and-a-half months ago. Ready for his return following a recent trial. Sure to prove hard to beat while fresh. JUST TIGER (3) made a winning return at his latest appearance two-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by 1.1 metres over 1 ?/16m at Burnie. That latest effort is good enough to win a race of this calibre. BLITZERN (12) ended last prep with a win at this track over 1 ?m four-and-a-half months ago. Capable of a forward showing while fresh. ROYAL APPOINTMENT (2) missed the placings two runs back then did a great job to finish 8 metres back in third despite breaking in the run over 5 ?f at Hobart nine days ago. It doesn't get any easier but he is going well enough to be competitive.
