Verdict

SMOOTH REASON (7) was responsible for a far better performance last time out when she scored by 6 metres over 1 m at Launceston. Has to contend with a very wide draw. Meeting a deeper field this time but she has the ability to mix it with them. MISS COLLANN (5) turned in another fine effort last start when she finished second over 1m at this track, beaten a nose. Tackles a similar assignment and she can grab another win. MARTYR (6) is on the radar after his last-start sixth over 1 5/16m at Charlton two weeks ago. BUSLOAD OF FAITH (10) showed pleasing improvement last time out when third over 1 ?m at Launceston. Has each-way claims.
