Plenty of pace evident with Commanding Shadow and Bombay Boom leading the way from Haz Styles and Belnera. STORMY REIGN (12) ran below expectations when she covered ground in the run for a tiring seventh over 1200m at Canberra. Assess on the good third two-back at Goulburn. At her peak now and will push forward from the low draw. Well placed today. JUDITH'S REVENGE (11) returned with the two trials as a ($1.85 fav) when third over 1200m at Wagga. Has further upside and sure to be thereabouts. BOMBAY BOOM (1) resumes without a trial and gelded over the break. Raced without luck at three career runs in town and can overcome the wide draw. Keep safe. UNDER WRAPS (4) Astern gelding from Sneaky Tsu on debut for the Danny Beasley yard. Looked good when winning his only trial over 1000m at Wagga. Hard to stop from the low draw. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 12,11,1,4.
