---|---|---|---|---|
Expecting It'sreel to take up the lead at a genuine tempo. IT'SREEL (2) has been around the mark in four career runs to date, placing behind subsequent G1 VRC Derby runner up Scary at his second start. The heavy track may not have suited last time and this looks a very winnable race. REEL HOT (8) was $26 on debut but ran very well at Warrnambool, working home nicely over 1400m to grab second. The extra trip suits and he'll be hard to hold out. VERONA RUPES (9) has raced twice to date and placed in both, sticking on well at Swan Hill last time. He draws well and can break through. SCORPION BAY (4) can sneak into the finish at odds, as could TAKE A PICK (7). SUGGESTED PLAY: It'sreel to win.
