Not a great deal of pressure likely in the small field, with Puissance Playboy a potential leader. REIGN IN THE CASH (1) missed the kick and had to be used up to find his spot over 1400m here nearly 3 weeks ago. His form before that was good, and the travelling David Page stable has been winning plenty of races in this State. If he can jump with them in this suitable small field, then he is the one to beat. MIDSUMMER ROMANCE (6) is still searching for her first win after 10 starts and was tried in front here last week over 1990m when fading out to finish sixth. She drops back to a mile and is worth another chance. PUISSANCE PLAYBOY (2) ran fifth two starts ago before improving to a close second last time over 1400m here when racing handy to the pace throughout. She has a superior gate this time and can go one better. SECRET INTENT (5) was seventh last start over 1400m at this track, and she will be peaking third up from a spell. In the small field, she has top 3 claims. COBAR SKY (4) and MIGHTY ROAR (3) make up the 6-horse field. SUGGESTED PLAY: Reign In The Cash should be winning.
