Race Tip

ST JUST IN TIME (1) returned from a 532-day absence over hurdles when 5L third at Perth and is entitled to sharpen considerably from that outing. Sets the standard. NIGHTFLYER (4) won a jumpers flat on debut and shaped better than the bare result when fifth at Worcester on his hurdling debut. First-time cheekpieces may help. Main danger. WAIT AT THE GATE (2) is a point-to-point winner who made headway before taking fourth at Worcester and should appreciate this longer trip. Makes some appeal. MARIA MES (5) has twice filled fourth over obstacles but remains lightly raced and could progress with experience. Not discounted.
