Verdict

REIGN IN THE CASH (1) is still chasing that first win after 11 starts. He was sent out as the favourite here last time out but couldn't deliver, finishing fourth over 1m after giving away a big start. This field is not strong, and he can make amends. MIDSUMMER ROMANCE (9) was a disappointing sixth here last time out in the same race as the top pick, but she has 7lbs less to carry this time, and this looks a good chance to bounce back. PURE HEARTED (12) has missed the placings in his last two, including a modest effort over 7f here last start 6 days ago. The extra furlong is the key, and she is worth another chance. NEWINGTON BOY (3) will find this easier than his fresh-up run at Pinjarra 7 days ago. Each way value. WRITTEN SIN (8) finished ninth in a 7f event here just 6 days ago and she is worth including in all top 4 combos.
