Genuine tempo with The Better Husband leading the way. SO SUAVE (5) looks overdue. At top and hasn't been far away but this looks ideal. Won maiden over 2070m when in Brisbane last winter. The trip suits now and gets chance. LADY THINKABELL (11) was runner-up fresh then hit the line hard to score an effortless maiden win. Has found form and can go on with it. KINGSFORD (2) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by 4 lengths over 2000m at Colac. That continued the solid form this campaign, with two wins from four outings. Big chance once again. THE BETTER HUSBAND (7) is a talented gelding who tackled tougher grade last time, finishing 5 lengths behind Single Choice over 1800m in the G2 Autumn Classic at Caulfield. Has the speed to be prominent. Leading contender this lesser class. KHANT BEE (4) has found form and can measure up again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Give So Suave another chance.
