Verdict

ICY YOU (10) made a good impression on debut at Pakenham Synthetic, settling right back over 7f from a wide gate but finishing the race off powerfully to grab second. He should relish the step to a mile and will be very hard to hold out. RIVERLEA PRINCE (4) resumes. He mixed his form a bit last time in but put up some good performances including a narrow second to the handy Panda's Spectrum. Market best guide fresh but he can run well. SPECKY BOY (6) comes back in trip having struggled at Mildura last time. The run at Hamilton over this trip prior has him right in the mix. GOLDEN THOUGHTS (3) is a So You Think gelding on debut for the Griffiths yard who can run well first time out.
