ICE'M UP BOYS (2) did a great job to score by 1.3 lengths over this course and distance when resuming from a layoff last time out. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. HOUSE BOURBON (3) finished 3 lengths from the winner in fourth last start after being in contention on the corner over 1m at this track, an improvement on his seventh at this track the run before. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. WISE VERDICT (7) finished eighth last time out over 7½f at Delta Downs, beaten 10 lengths. Has a win and one placing at this journey from five starts. Has solid credentials. PASSING JUDGMENT (6) comes here off a last-start fourth, beaten 4.5 lengths, over 1m at this track. Strong top-three chance.
