IRONCLAD BOY (2) opened this prep with a win two runs ago. Not as effective last time out when fourth over 7f at Bunbury, beaten 3.5 lengths. Finds the right race this time and can rediscover winning form. SIMPLY THINKIN' (1) settled well back last time then wound up strongly in the straight to finish third over this journey at Belmont Park. Commendable record at this trip with a win and two minor placings and will be ready to run a big race. ODIN OMEN (14) finished fifth two runs back then improved last start when he made late ground but found a couple better over 7f at this track, beaten 2.5 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. DAIYAMONDO (7) improved last start when second up from a break, finishing 3.5 lengths adrift in sixth over 6f at this track. Reunites with Lisa Staples which is a proven winning combination. Deserves respect.
