Pace will be slick with So Si Bon and Jimmy The Bear locking horns in advance of Thought Of That. Siding with JIMMY THE BEAR (7) on top. He's such a hard horse to knock, winning three from four this time in, including last start when stepping to 1600m for the first time. He drops 4kg in weight and should be able to slot in just off the pace. CHIEF ALTONY (6) is flying. He wasn't suited getting back in the field last time but ran on well for second. Not as well in at the weights this time but would appreciate any rain around so monitor conditions. THOUGHT OF THAT (5) needs it dry to figure. He's a handy horse at his best and the mile is a good starting point. He can roll forward with Meech on and run well. SO SI BON (4) had his chance last start but was only 1.4 lengths off Chief Altony and meets him significantly better at the weights. Not the worst. SUGGESTED PLAY: So Si Bon each-way.
