Verdict

SMOKIN REELS (2) will find this a little easier than his 1.5 lengths defeat on debut over 1200m at this track. Drawn close to the inside and has gate speed. Has been briefly freshened and is ready to win. ROCK ON ANGEL (8) switched from a NSW yard and was run over late well supported here off a 57 day break. Her Lismore placing prior stacks up and the 2kg claim is handy. She's a player with the extra fitness. NIVEN (1) keeps Wiggins and can build on his distant placing in the same race. Maps to get every chance. MIDDLE CHILD (7) started at $4.80 in the same contest but was only fair to the line. Has to run out a strong 1200m but a better effort is anticipated.

Most recently failed to make an impression; 12th of 15 at this track Mdn on January 6 over 1000m, slow going 8 len behind Mind Over Matter with 57.5kg at $3.90. The race before that held ground to the line 3rd of 7 at Lismore Ctry Mdn on November 10 over 1110m, slow going 2 len behind Copenhagen Cat carrying 57kg at $10. Better than the last effort suggests and deserves another chance.

Comes off a 43 day let-up. Most recently ran last of 11 at Cairns Mdn on December 4 over 1400m, on a slow track; 12 len behind Garinion Righ carrying 54kg at $71. The race before that 6th of 9 at Home Hill Mdn-Sw on November 1 over 1180m, on a slow track; 6 len behind Not Worth It carrying 57.5kg at $12. Will need to improve to have any impact in this race.

The start before that second last of 8 at Cairns 3yo Hcp on December 20 over 1250m, on a slow track; 9 len behind Aspen Cowboy carrying 54kg at $91. Can't see her breaking through for the maiden win this time.
