Surprisingly Tougher

In what may seem a little bit of an illogical call I'm going to say that this race is a deal tougher for Military Reign that the first-up assignment. Going into the Marjorie Charleson Classic Military Reign looked incredibly well suited with only 53kg on her back, drawn to lead in a race which has a distinct lack of pace. DMac made handpicked the race for her months in advance and her training was scheduled to perfection. This time she drops back to the 1000m dash for cash, rises a whopping 6kg to lump a full 59 and looks near impossible to lead consider the little pocket rocket Hot Goods is drawn inside her. Forced to sit outside the speed I think she'll be vulnerable. Clearly the class galloper in the race and deserving favourite but I liked her first-up and don't like her second-up. It's a lay for me. Popping Bourne Supremacy on top who should get the softest of runs from barrier 1 behind a blistering top end tempo and be able to unleash late. Same goes for Profit Street who should park behind them and be doing his best work late. Military Reign too good to be left out of the top 3 but worth taking on at $2.50

agree they went too hard upfront, just look at the second last and last horse before the bend and where they finished, Culverin & KOK flew home into the placings, that wouldn't have been possible if the pace upfront wasn't so hot

As somebody mentioned earlier KOK fair dinkum dawdled out of the barriers.The new whip rules may not suit a horse like him. He needs stoking up! Former great jockey Rod Kemp would be a perfect fit to ride.
