A solid tempo on the cards with Fox Reign taking charge. TO BE FRANK (2) caught the eye last start at Tamworth when rattling home late to just miss the winner. Will appreciate the added trip on a short turnaround and should be nearing his peak. Great chance to break a long run of outs. FOX REIGN (1) has good early speed and will be charging forward again to give himself every chance. Should be hitting his straps now and gets a key booking in Bullock. CASCADE MOUNTAIN (3) drove hard to shed his maiden tag two weeks ago at Walcha. Tougher this time but not by much. Can repeat the dose. BLUE STEEL (8) next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: To Be Frank to win.
