JERRICOOP (1) was responsible for a nice effort last time out when he finished runner-up on his jumps debut (2500m) at Trentham. Looks a great chance. BRIAN LAMONT (4) is taking on the jumps for a second time after finishing sixth at his first attempt (2800m) at Te Rapa 8 days ago, beaten 10 lengths. Expect him to pose a serious challenge. DOCTOR IRIS (5) has failed to figure of late. Last time out he could only manage fifth (2800m) at Te Rapa. That came after he took a tumble (3100m) at this track. In the mix if he gets things right. EMPIRE STATE (2) has been out of the money in two starts this time in work, both over the jumps. Finished seventh when fresh from a spell then was 8 lengths away in fifth most recently (2800m) at Te Rapa. Worth serious consideration.
