Genuine tempo from The Big Freeze leading Scissor Me Timbers. Happy to give SCISSOR ME TIMBERS (1) another try. Bug winner this grade two back in what has turned out to be a hot form race. Stepped up to 1400m here latest as favourite and stalked the pace but never came on. Far better than that and gets a chance to atone in a weak race. THE BIG FREEZE (2) came through the same race and was also well off best in fourth. Another who can do better this time. The rest are in pretty moderate form. FOREVER A DIAMOND (5) is close to a win but is a 17-start maiden. Eligible for easier but going pretty well and worth thought. CAPISTAN (4) is yet to win in 15 tries here but rarely far away. LOVE TO LIE (6) is having her first try this circuit and can improve with the blinkers added. SUGGESTED PLAY: Forgive Scissor Me Timbers.
