I'm Bronson and Classic Warrior can push forward from the gates. The top two chances in this look superior on ability and scope namely ALVINS DREAM and SHE BRINGS JOY. The former ran an eyecatcher last start and this is easier so with race fitness under his belt should win. The latter is the better horse and she should be in for a big season. Last start G2 winner so has the quality. Trip a shade short but has come up okay with a trial third last month showing her not too far behind the eight ball after a wet Winter in early preparation. I'M BRONSON has speed so makes his own luck. Yet to pay a dividend here but gets a chance to alter that fact. O'Carol is eachway second up. Sea Home is down 1kg and can be in the finish. Aston Park can overcome a wide barrier to be in the first four. SUGGESTED PLAY: Win bet I'm Bronson dropping back to a suitable distance.
