THOUGHT OF THAT was unable to muster early to find the lead, it was all over for him there and he was disappointing. JIMMY THE BEAR sat outside the leader and just keep getting the job done. CHIEF ALTONY ran on well against the tempo of the race, again he's a backmarker which is making it tough for him to win.

SHE'S ALL CLASS was slow out, but also didn't go a yard and was disappointing. LITTLE STEVIE got a nice result for her new ownership group and got her head down at the right time. HELLFEST settled further back than expected and her effort was good.

There was good speed in this however hard not to be impressed by the win of I AM BENE, she was slow away but more than dynamic late to record an impressive win. I expect she can go on with it and try her luck in something harder next start.

ALPHA ONE led them and Frosty was swinging on the bend, however GIGA KICK was very professional, pinned the ears back and mowed him down like only a good horse can. MILLANE ran on well and may be better suited to the 1200m. In a month's time I expect there are several challengers to this lot emerge, so while I was impressed with GK I'm not getting carried away.

BOUND FOR HOME was slowly away but can with a string run to get the result and went better than i thought she was capable. OJAI drew awkwardly and was snicked, held up for clear running her effort was very good. WALTZ ON BY was a total forgive run given she got halted in her tracks at a key stage. I'MLOVIN'YA got shuffled back at a key stage and was left with too much to do, she too ran well.

UNCOMMON JAMES was smashed in betting and that was completely justified as he smashed the clock. He has a positive racing style and can cut his way through some of the handicaps here in the spring. I liked the return of SINAWANN and I think he's on track for races over a little further than what he encountered here.

BUFFALO RIVER gave plenty of cheek from the front and if it's wet spring he can improve on this effort. MR BRIGHTSIDE took the big step up to this grade, he had a nice run but was strong holding off a game I AM SUPERMAN. REGAL POWER was excellent given he will be much better suited to further. ELEPHANT was also very good after being restrained early. Look for him out in trip and from a draw where he can settle closer.

MILITARY EXPERT sat close to the speed and showed great tenacity to keep EL ROCKO at bay who ran extremely well. PASCERO clearly the unlucky runner of the race and with any luck would've won this race and he can be followed.
