Verdict

FEEL THE REIGN (3) has been very good from back row draws of late. Finished third last start at Kilmore, beaten 2.2 metres, after working but proving too good at the previous appearance at Melton. Up in grade but should have no excuses from this more advantageous draw. SPORTING RAGE (2) didn't measure up at his latest appearance but draws better and had been going well prior including a Charlton win and a placing here. Worth another chance. SPRINGFIELD RIVER (1) resumes after three-and-a-half months. Readied with two solid trials and is proven fresh so keep safe. THIS TIME (4) returns to the front row and drops to a distance where she owns a good record so look for improvement.
