Solid tempo with Lacryma Christi, Action Thriller and Good Omen the ones to roll forward. GOOD OMEN (6) produced a solid effort when runner-up over 1750m at Scottsville last start, racing prominently before finding only one better. The 4kg claim is a significant advantage and, if he handles the rise in distance, he looks capable of breaking through for a deserved maiden victory. CRIMSON TYPHOON (2) took a step forward when finishing third over this course and distance last time, closing off her race with purpose. A repeat of that performance would see her right in the finish. ACTION THRILLER (3) was competitive over 1600m here at his latest outing and shaped as though a longer trip would suit. The move to 2000m looks a positive and he remains one with upside. GIMME THE TRUTH (9) finished just half a length behind the top pick last start but meets that rival on less favourable weight terms this time, which may make it difficult to reverse the result. Top 4 claims in this.
