Expecting Scissor Me Timbers to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sharp trip. Most of these struggling for best and looks a great opportunity for SCISSOR ME TIMBERS (5) to return to winning form. Sat handy and boxed on well for fourth here last time in tougher grade and looks well placed this line-up. Gets chance. BRAT (2) is the sole last start winner. Finished second here two back then got the job done by 4.5 lengths as favourite over 1000m here latest. Can measure up again, RIVER FROST (3) was poorly away last time and was always well out of his ground over 1100m, beaten 4 lengths into seventh. Better start and can figure in the finish. HELLIVIT (6) finished seventh over 1000m at this track last time out following a determined win two runs back. Terrific chance to return to the winners' list. BOSS SHELBY (7) has ability and can measure up on best form. SUGGESTED PLAY: Follow up on Scissor Me Timbers.
