Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 11)    

SMOOTH REASON (4) last appeared when a fifth over 1609m at Hobart on 2/11/2024, capping off a fine prep that saw her salute on two occasions. Well-placed to pick up where she left off when last in work. WAZZA (5) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 4 metres from the winner in third over 2200m at this track. Meets a similar line up and he is a strong winning hope. TULLAH GIRL (1) should be at her peak for this. Finished second over 2200m at this track at the latest appearance nine days ago. Sure to give the top fancies plenty to think about. MARTHA LAVINIA (10) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 2.25 metres at this track over 2200m.

Two back was beaten by 9 m finishing fourth behind Inside Three Bars at this track over 1680m in a NR 45 to 49 on June 27 at $8.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 9 m finishing second after a quick start, behind Jay Miller at this track over 2200m in a NR 40 to 44 on July 11 at $3.50. One of the primary contenders.
