Good tempo expected with Chartin, Little Bit Yours and Tametomo rolling forward. I TELL YA WHAT (2) comes out of stronger races and will enjoy the drop in class. His run at Morphettville two starts back is good enough to win this. Banking on him having a bit more upside than most of his rivals here. MATALIK (3) is a three-year-old that also has upside but he was only fair in his first run out of maiden grade last start. He needs to lift but he's open to improvement. CHARTIN (6) caught the eye first-up over 1400m and he is a previous winner second-up. He will take benefit from that and can easily figure in the finish here. Both TAMETOMO (7) and FIGHT FOR FREEDOM (12) come out of the same race as Chartin and their respective performances had merit. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing I Tell Ya What to win.
