Expecting Reign Of Honor to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sharp trip. PEARL OF DUBAI (9) ran fourth in the G3 Widden first-up and has since finished runner-up in two strong contests. Seven weeks between runs heading into this and worth noting she finished second to Magic Time in the G3 Black Opal over 1200m at Canberra on a soft (7) track. Go close. REIGN OF HONOR (1) returns from a lengthy break after showing ability in his first prep. Primed for this with the two trials and gets every chance from the gate. WILD COURAGE (10) caught the eye on debut when she ran on late to finish third over 900m at Newcastle. Ready for this trip and can take a hand in the finish. WEEKEND MARKET (7) went back from the outside gate second-up and savaged the line late with an eye-catching fourth over 1100m at Wyong. Well drawn today and can race much closer to the speed. Each-way. SUGGESTED PLAY: Pearl Of Dubai gets her chance to shine.
