MAGIC THRILL (7) was big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split, grabbed late but holding on to a placing when a 3.5 lengths third (17.01) over 300m at this track. Top prospect. BUSTER BOURBSKI (4) turned in a solid run last start over 300m at this track finishing 4th and beaten only 1.2 lengths (17.27). Form here at the trip sound including three wins. Form from his last run is proving to be solid. Cannot be taken lightly. DEVON DAISIES (1) 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 3 length fourth (20.10) over 350m at this track. Cannot be underestimated. RHEA RIPTIDE (5) raced handy last time and scored. Right in the mix.

Comments

Started big odds last time but hit the ground running with a slick early split, giving a sight but fading out of it to finish fourth (20.10) at this track over 350m. Some good form is emerging from that last run. Expected to prove hard to beat.

Didn't make the placings last time at Bendigo (25.09) in a Grade 5, finishing a 8 length seventh. Has performed well off the draw with a win and four places from 10 starts. Looks a place chance at best.

Hit the ground running with a slick early sectional but ran over late and missed the frame when a 1.2 lengths fourth (17.27) over 300m at this track. Speedy conveyance who looks hard to beat.

Good effort to win last start by a nose over 300m at this track in a handy (17.08), beating Sea Breezy. Should be around the mark.
