I'M A MACHINE (2) is a three-start maiden who could only manage to finish sixth at his latest appearance over 7f at Launceston after he was well back on straightening. Among the top chances in what looks a most suitable race. STRIDING BAY (5) ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 1m at Launceston after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. ALPINE HONEY (1) was prominent at the bend and ran a better race last start to finish a close third over 1m at Launceston after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Likely improver with strong prospects. KNIGHTS REIGN (3) is yet to break through in 10 runs but has been thereabouts. Placed in a then was 3 lengths away in fifth over 6f at Launceston last time. Blinkers added this time. Can sneak into the finish.
