Strong early tempo from Thermodynamic spearing over from an outside gate, with High On Sugar also pushing up. THERMODYNAMIC (3) has been denied narrowly from getting off the mark in his two resuming efforts. Has enough early dash to offset the tricky draw and interesting to note the application of blinkers first time. Bold showing anticipated. I TELL YA WHAT (5) went close to breaking through last start at Murray Bridge, beaten a long neck when sent out favourite. Open to further improvement but will need a smart steer from the gate. LITTLE CHICAGO (1) warmed to his task nicely over the concluding stages last start at Strathalbyn when finding the frame. Expecting him to drift back again from the barrier and be charging late. HIGH ON SUGAR (4) wasn't far away first-up but was no match for an impressive winner last time out. Draws favourably with Crowther sticking. One of the key chances. MAHENO (6) finds it tough to break the ice but has found the line well in his last two without threatening the winner. Blinkers on first time should have him sharpened. Don't underestimate. SAVSONIC (9) next. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Thermodynamic to win.
