VALE BLACKBIRD (5) drew trap 4 last start and was game in defeat when a close second, 1.75 lengths from Droopys Marie (27.69) at this track. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings three times from four starts. Leading chance again. DONEGAL CASHOUT (4) has been mixing his form recently in handicaps. In the money two back breaking from the 6m mark at this track then finished fourth at his latest appearance when starting off 6m from the scratch dog at this track over 450m (27.75). Tackles another handicap and will break off 5m. Hard to fault his best numbers. Watch for a return to form. CANAVANS CORNER (6) showed little early speed at her last couple, the latest finishing fourth (28.38) in a HCP at this track. Has ability and is one of the better chances. REIN ME IN (2) is a E Y Bell-trained newcomer by Pestana out of Canya Hot Shot. Profiles nicely but market best guide to ability.
