Scarlett Thunder and Tosen Dreamer will press forward early in a keen battle for top spot. BOBBY IS KING (1) was ridden more aggressively last start but tired at the end of 1200m at Inverell to miss the placings. Given a seven-week freshen up since that effort so the slightly shorter trip should suit. Capable of testing these. SCARLETT THUNDER (9) started favourite but found 800m at Ipswich a bit sharp when resuming from a 28-week spell for the new stable last start. Filled a placing second-up at Mornington last prep. Open to sharp improvement over this more suitable journey. TOSEN DREAMER (11) last appeared on 1 March when down the track at Ballina. In the money at 10/13 runs so while this is short of her best she must be considered. THEIR FINEST HOUR (12) has won a couple of recent trials and looks ready for a solid debut, as does SO YOU CAN TORQUE (4) whose trials suggests Matt Dunn has a decent galloper on his hands. SUGGESTED PLAY: Hard to split Bobby Is King and Scarlett Thunder.
