PLAYA BLANCA (9) enjoys a class drop off back-to-back midfield efforts in higher-graded races at Menangle. Came from a similar draw to place at Newcastle the last time she raced in this grade and won the last time she raced here, taking her strike rate at this circuit to 50 per cent. CONSTANTINA (3) led from wider and faded at her latest appearance but is much better than that having placed from a wide barrier at Newcastle prior. Has the speed to be prominent from this nice draw so is worth another chance. OURTREACHEROUS REIGN (10) didn't do a bad job when fifth at Newcastle last time out and was beaten only 3m into second from a similar barrier to this here prior. LOOKIN GOOD MARGIE (1) struggled despite this same favourable draw last time but eases back in grade so could show more.
