Plenty of pace from Forms Of Fear, Cinque Torri and Dakota Lee vying for the lead, with a few others keeping them honest. Terrific race. Happy to stick with two top locals fighting it out. REWARDS AND MORE (8) is in great form winning two of last three, the latest with ease over Dakota Lee in the final lead-up. Has speed and a low draw and will take beating again. DAKOTA LEE (2) is a lightly raced mare but with an incredible strike-rate winning 12/14 career starts. Unbeaten in four tries course and distance, unbeaten in five tries second-up and won this last year as favourite. Was scratched at the barriers almost a month ago so the campaign didn't start well but lined up against Rewards and More last time and was runner-up. Fitter and expected to stalk the lead and go close again. COTEHELE (4) is an SA galloper who hasn't won for an age but ran very well first try here to place behind the local pair. Has the ability and can feature. FLYING YISHU (5) is bursting to win and looks a leading chance with any luck from the draw. O'TYCOON (9) is ready to win and looks next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Stick with Rewards and More.
