Solid pace on the cards from Bill The Boxer pushing forward. THALER (5) won well at Moonee Valley then wasn't that far away last time. Looks much better off this time with the claim and is expected to give this a shake. BEWS (3) was a flashing light run when returning from a break at Caulfield. Is going to strip fitter this time and will be tough to hold out. TIFFANY VALENTINE (16) was freshened before coming from last here at most recent run when finishing midfield, not far from the winner. Looks up to a race like this. Won't be far away. SUGGESTED PLAY: Back Thaler and Bews to win.
