5:55am - TAB REWARDS HANDICAP | 1600m | | i

A few possible on-pacers in this BM 94 mile. ARRAIGNMENT likes to lead, as does GRESHAM, SIR PLUSH and REFLECTIVITY, potentially creating some pressure up-front (tempo: FAIR to STRONG). GRESHAM was strong last start over 1400m on-pace and will be hard to shake third-up to the mile. REFLECTIVITY the other obvious choice on form after a nice win last start, he'll need to prove he can soak up some pressure over the 1600m (only 1600m win was SLOW tempo). The key threat to the fav's might be BERDIBEK up after running on well behind GRESHAM fresh, the 1600m on a dry track with tempo seems ideal for him now. ARRAIGNMENT, TIP TOP (awkward barrier) and VAUCLUSE BAY all around the mark. [updated 8:48am]
