Hot tempo expected with Scissor Me Timbers, Black Zous and River Frost heading the charge. BLACK ZOUS (1) was on speed and fought on well to continue a string of top three finishes, placing both since a win three back. Back in grade for this and aided by the claim. Deserves another win. IN NO DOUBT (6) was game in defeat with an on speed close second over 1100m here last time. Expected to be in the finish again. RIVER FROST (5) started this preparation with a win two runs ago. Couldn't follow that up last time out when ninth over 1200m at this track, beaten 10 lengths. That was well off best and worth another chance. REAL VALENTIA (2) showed good early speed from the inside draw last time and stalked the lead before going on to record a half a length win. Has won three of last four and will take catching again. CAP TEN (8) wound up strongly in tougher grade last time and worth following up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Black Zous gets chance.
