Genuine tempo from She's A Revelation leading Master Of Rewards. BONDI PROPHET (3) finished seventh last time out as favourite over 1305m at Tuncurry, beaten 2.25 lengths. Better than that run suggests and can feature. GAMING (2) is yet to find the winners' list this time in work but has three placings from six runs this prep, finishing just 0.6 lengths away in third most recently over 1315m at Ballina. Looks a solid top-three prospect. IT'SALLSAIDANDONE (5) met with solid support last time out but could only manage to finish seventh over 1010m at Ballina in a disappointing performance. Finds a nice race and can atone. OURLEGSELEVEN (10) hasn't made an impression lately despite market confidence. Last start could only manage ninth over 1205m at Coffs Harbour. Can improve and is worth including. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 3,2,5,10.
