Image Of Pro has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. SIR BEAR A LOT (2) showed good improvement out to this trip last start when missing out by 1.2L here as favourite. That form may have been franked by now and this looks a beautiful setup for him today. Drawn perfectly, third-up and at the peak of his powers. He looks set to go one better. IMAGE OF PRO (3) finished a further length behind Sir Bear A Lot last start at his first try over this distance when leading. He meets that rival better at the weights today and he should be prominent from the outset once more. Will take beating. PECOS (1) ended last campaign with dominant wins here and he's been tuned up with three trials coming into this. Hearn was on board for his two most recent trials and if he can pick up where he left off, he'll go close to winning. VERRY TIMELY (5) can improve third-up today after pulling up with an issue last time out. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Sir Bear A Lot to win.
