|---|---|---|---|---|

Solid tempo with Thermosphere Lad, Looks and Run D'affaire Run going hard, closely attended by Boab Boy. SIMPLY THINKIN' (3) was back on track when narrowly beaten here 11 days ago with Pike aboard and he remains in the saddle. The gate is a touch sticky but will be managed. Go close. THERMOSPHERE LAD (4) has laid a solid foundation and has won 2/2 third-up. He may skip over and control the race and is sure to give a sight. MANHATTAN STRIP (6) won at Northam this grade first-up and then worked into a place at Northam. Keeps Chris Parnham and will be fitter again. He should enjoy a soft run from the inside barrier. A player. SURF PATROL (8) has been knocking on the door and carries 3kg less in stronger. Maps for the run of the race and CJP replaces Chris Parnham. Can't be ruled out. SUGGESTED PLAY: With Simply Thinkin'.
