SELECTIONS: REIGN EM IN (4), CALYPSO MISTRESS (2), IM THE REASON (6), GOODTIME CAPTAIN (7)

ANALYSIS: REIGN EM IN (4) looks the likely leader here and must be a great winning hope based on recent form. Last time, he withstood pressure, eventually handed up the front and battled away to only be beaten 7.2m in good time and in a stronger race than this. Before that, he chased home the smart Some Magic at Geelong with a good gap back to third. He should give a great sight. CALYPSO MISTRESS (2) now starts from the pole with the scratching of SOMETUFFLUV (1) and is another that’s going really well, IM THE REASON (6) performed well at the trials but ran into a smart one first-up at Ballarat and can improve sharply here, while GOODTIME CAPTAIN (7) won from the front at Melton on May 15 and is also a hope along with debut winner SWEET GEM (5).

BACK: REIGN EM IN (4) – 3 units (win)
