STERN IDOL (1) is a fine jumper who has been relentless in recent runs. Comes here off back-to-back wins. Scored (2m3 1/4f) at Terang two starts back then was most impressive last time, scoring by 4. 5 lengths in The Brierly Steeple (2m1 1/4f) at Warrnambool. In-form gelding who is the one to beat again on his return to jumps racing. SING FOR PEACE (5) has been going well. Got the job done in a hurdle (2m) at Warrnambool two starts back then finished third last time, beaten 5 lengths, in a hurdle (2m) at Hamilton. Likely to be prominent. FABALOT (3) was unplaced in a in The Galleywood Hurdle hurdle (2m) at Warrnambool. Filled a minor prize last start in a much better performance (2m3f) at Casterton, beaten 10 lengths. Good enough to test this field. CASTROFRANCARU (4) could only manage to finish fourth 14 days back (2m3f) at Casterton. That result was on the back of a solid third in The Brierly Steeple (2m1 1/4f) at Warrnambool two starts ago. Expect a return to form.
