Track: HVY9     Rail: True.  

Shamrock's Secret should find the front with Reebar and Nirvana The Storm on her heels. PROCLAIMER (4) resumes from a spell that would have done him the world of good, and he has switched stables. He showed enough talent last year to suggest that he will be among the hardest to beat fresh up from the pole position. LOPE BY NIGHT (2) found the heavy track a tad too tough at his second career start at the Sunshine Coast 6 days ago, and he can be forgiven for that effort. The extra furlong will suit him, and he can crack the top 3 this time. BEST COFFEE (1) has been thereabouts this year and will have a tongue tie on for the first time. A good draw helps, and he can figure in the finish this time. Don't risk him. REEBAR (5) had no luck on the Sunshine Coast poly track nearly 2 weeks ago. He has more scope than most in this, and with the benefit of a 3kg claim, he is worth including in all combinations. NIRVANA THE STORM (3) has not been helping himself by making slow starts recently. He was second fresh up at Warwick in January and can do better. Each way value. SUGGESTED PLAY: Lope By Night each way.
