Reverberate seen as a favourite

Cannington will host the Nationals for the first time since 2009 and Reverberate is sure to be one of the leading contenders to represent the home state.

She was edged out by Jeff The Tipster in her heat, but punters put her as the favourite due to consistent form and big race experience. The dependable black bitch justified the faith in her with a typically professional display of chasing.

Reverberate has collected 21 wins from 74 starts and just under $125,000 in prize money.
