Tsarina Diamonds and Will The Thinker possess good early speed and will set a genuine tempo. WILL THE THINKER (6) raced forward and placed second over 1200m at Nowra on debut, beaten 2.3L on a heavy track. Will be better for that, and this is easier. Boudvillain is a positive jockey engagement, and the longer sprint shouldn't be an issue. INITIATE (9) is a big threat. Was nudged out three starts back at Goulburn and then again at the Sapphire Coast 8 days ago over 1205m. Led in that and has the inside gate today, back in grade. Keeps Owen and will get every chance to manage the step up in trip. TSARINA DIAMONDS (12) has a wide barrier, but deserves consideration on resumption. Will race over further, but has gate speed and has sprinted well in Victoria over this trip. PASSING THROUGH (10) peaks, and the local should be ready to show more like his best Victorian form. Has a low gate and races forward. Goes into the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Will The Thinker.
