Strong tempo assured with Dreams Of Thunder, Hydrometer and Stratafy rolling to the front. HYDROMETER (1) is a proven weight carrier with a sharp overall record. Cruised home to win a recent trial and proven fresh. Hard to beat. TIME BANDIT (2) has a healthy strike rate from ten starts and flies fresh. Two recent trials have been solid and wide draw the only knock. ORYX (4) has a strong first up record and was close up in a fast run trial recently. Poorly drawn but has top three claims. OCEAN JOY (8) finds nice weight relief for the step up in grade but did get all the favours last start. Each-way hope in harder. STRATAFY (9) deserves another chance after a tougher assignment last start. SUGGESTED PLAY: Hydrometer win.
