A race that is devoid of early speed and it is hard to nominate a leader. REGINALD (2) ended his last campaign with a second placing at Pinjarra-Scarpside and is resuming at a far easier level. If he is not in need of the run, he will be among the hardest to beat in this. CAPE PRIDE (3) has been placed in 4 of his 5 starts on this circuit which is an advantage and he should be ready now to show some worthwhile form. Each-way. CHAVORIO (1) won here second up last prep and should be close to her best now after 3 runs back from a spell. She has a good draw and is poised to put her best hoof forward in this. KENTUCKY BLUE (4) ran his best race last prep when resuming and after losing form he has shifted to a country trainer. He might need a run but the pole position will help and any market support should be noted. SUGGESTED PLAY: Reginald to win.
