Genuine tempo from Sir William Bruce leading France's Boy. Patrick and Michelle Payne would have winced when they saw the draw for OH SO THRILLING (8), but that's mainly because they look to have found a highly winnable race for the progressive mare. Did little first-up, when well-supported at longer odds, but improved rapidly second-up when only narrowly beaten. Ready for the step up to 1600m now and looks to be the testing material with any luck in the run from that gate. CORTAIN (6) doesn't win often, but only needs to run up to the good Ararat second placing from two back to be a factor here. DANZAGRUNT (3) is back in trip off a freshen and could bounce back on a firmer surface than last start. AZEOLA (13) should be ready to show something after three runs back from a spell. KOYUGA BREEZE (5) an improve at odds back to his home track, which is where he recorded his only win. SUGGESTED PLAY: Oh So Thrilling to win.
