Genuine tempo with Le Derriere and Bold Response leading the way. THAMES (10) resumes for James Cummings and she spaced the Maidens at her only fresh outing. Showed plenty following and Craig Williams stays aboard. Has an inside gate and won't have to be much improved to be winning. LE DERRIERE (4) has been close-up twice since the big win at this level and finds easier. Has a handy 2kg claim and can race forward. Go well. MR MAGNUS (5) returned from town and won the CL1 here as expected. Peaks and can get into the finish. DIO (1) is better suited today and the 3kg claim offsets some of the weight rise. He will be around the mark. SUGGESTED PLAY: Thames is hard to go past.
