Genuine tempo with Belle O'ballee and Richter up front. MS REEVES (8) wasn't far away two back over 1300m at Orange then didn't get the mile at Dubbo last start. Best form comes at today's journey so she is capable of turning things around in this even contest. DONNA EMILIA (9) took fourteen attempts but finally registered her maiden win over 1300m at Orange last time out. Just failed over seven furlongs at Dubbo the run before so she has no issue at this distance. Can play a big role again. NORMAN (2) has been plain in his two runs this prep, albeit in shorter races. Placed two from three at this stage of the prep and with blinkers back on today he looks ready to improve sharply. SPORTS PAGE (1) was outclassed in a Coonamble Country Championship qualifier last time. Back in her right grade and should be in the mix. CORPSMAN (7) is coming back in trip which doesn't look ideal but she will be finding the line well - one for trifecta and first four punters. SUGGESTED PLAY: Ms Reeves each-way.
