HE'S MAGIC (7) goes very well this course and distance starting 20 times for nine wins and nine minors. Was out of the placings last time (29.87) at this track in a Grade 5, finishing fourth and beaten 0.6 lengths. Looks suited and should go close. HURRICANE (1) missed the frame last time, finishing 6th (30.32) last time in a Mix 3/4 at The Meadows. Has never missed the frame here at the trip including one win. Consistent performer from this draw with a win and two minor placings to his credit. Has ability and is one of the better chances. MEPUNGA LILLY (5) has shown good improvement at her last two starts, the latest scoring at this track over 595m. One of the prime contenders. VALENZUELA (4) won as punters' elect last time and another big run is on the cards.

Last couple of starts have been ordinary but he has solid credentials over this track and distance. Below best last time but looks well placed here. Deserves another chance.

Comments

Was sent out long odds last time but charged out of the boxes with a fast early sectional and gave a sight before being swallowed up late, finishing a 0.6 lengths fourth (29.87) over 515m at this track. Solid formlines coming through that last run. Looks a major player.
