Jockey Challenge

Looks like a race between Jace McMurray, Michael Rodd, Andrew Mallyon and Angela Jones. With it being JEWEL day the topical tip would be Angela Jones – Jace McMurray has a solid book of rides as well and he knows this track like the back of his hand.

WEEKEND UPDATE

I will post some late mail this weekend – see if I can find some winners. Be sure to check the up to date and amended tips each Saturday morning on Facebook after any track changes and scratchings!
