Overlook the latest result of REIGN EM IN (5) when he copped a check and broke. Was racing very well prior with two wins and a nose second from the previous three starts. Strong claims. NEON TIGER (4) produced a strong performance last time when he battled on bravely to just miss out by a head at Ballarat and was a winner at that venue earlier in the month. Major player. INEXORABLE (8) draws for a trail and is in the mix having recorded a string of top-four finishes since scoring last month at Cranbourne. LITTLEBLABBAMOUTH (2) must be considered after she finished a close second from this barrier last start at Bendigo.
