STERN REMINDER (3) blinkers go on second-up after he gripped on late with a tough second over 1200m at Wagga. Poorly drawn again and shapes as the main danger. WIRE TO WIRE (5) failed to back-up the good second at Cowra two-back with a plugging sixth over 1300m at Goulburn in a Super Maiden. Comes back a level and capable of testing this field. HELIGAN (7) unlucky not to have already shed his Maiden tag in ten career starts. Nice return when savaged the line to finish third over 1000m at Albury. Extra trip in his favour and clearly come back well. Debutant FIRST ASSAULT (6) has been building nicely warrants monitoring.
