Flying Annie, Field Of Flutes and Zourata to match motors but there will be other pressure. REWARDS AND MORE (3) continues to race well with a win two back at Alice Springs before finishing 2 lengths away in third last time there in the rich Pioneer Sprint. Reunites with jockey Lek Maloney who knows him well, including two wins while aboard. Hard to beat in this class. FIELD OF FLUTES (4) scored an impressive win by 3.5 lengths when resuming from a spell last time out over 1100m at this track. Fitter again and looms as a significant threat. ZOURATA (2) improved last time out, finishing 4 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 1000m at Alice Springs after being in the firing line on the turn. Has the talent to find the winners' list. FLYING ANNIE (5) returns after a spell of eight months. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1100m at this track. Has a solid first-up record of two wins and five placings from eight runs. One to consider. EARLY CROW (1) rates highly and should do much better. SUGGESTED PLAY: Stay with Rewards And More.
