RAYMOND'S REWARD (16) started at $3.50 last time but could only manage sixth, beaten 2.5 lengths, at Parkes over 1300m. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Best figures should see him run well. KRANICH (8) recorded his first win last start over 1400m at Gunnedah, getting home by half a length. Shayleigh Ingelse was in the saddle on that occasion and retains the mount. No reason he cannot get the job done again. HIMORHER (3) returned from a spell a week-and-a-half ago when she was beaten 4.5 lengths into seventh over 1200m at Inverell. Has a very strong second up record. Fitter this time. Hard to beat in this suitable race. SOCIAL OUTCAST (2) is progressing well this preparation, scoring by 1.4 lengths last time out over 1350m at Merriwa. Well placed to feature in the finish again.
