3:35am - CELLARBRATIONS SOUTHERN CROSS STAKES | 1200m | Group 3 | i

The popular JUNGLE EDGE comes to Sydney and he'll be up on-pace with SPECIAL REWARD here. Both are in-form on-pacers, a leaning to SPECIAL REWARD with a touch more upside, you have to like the way he always toughs it out to the line. The big threats are the first-up horses CASCADIAN and DESERT LORD, who were both fine in one trial leading into this. CASCADIAN showed progression last prep and should go on with it this Autumn, while DESERT LORD gets the perfect barrier to track the leaders and ambush late. ASHLOR reliable and rates a place chance.
