Jayko pushes forward from the jump with FORCE OF MAGIC lobbing into the box seat from a good draw. He is racing in top form this campaign with a Queanbeyan win and two second placings from three starts. Only beaten 0.8L at Wagga last time and goes back up to the mile, a distance he has tried three times for two wins and a placing. Jayko might be left to take it up here from Messiah's Jewel. FORCE OF MAGIC will also race in the leading division and on what he has shown this prep is the clear top pick. Scored by a widening half length over this distance at Queanbeyan two starts back then had a month off before finishing a gallant runner up at Wagga last time out when coming back to 1400m. Has won 2/3 at this trip and despite lumping 60.5kgs after the claim might have too much quality for this small field. MESSIAH'S JEWEL went to the front before straightening and proved too good over this distance at Goulburn two starts ago. Came back sharply in trip last start and looked a little unlucky when unplaced over 1200m at Newcastle Beaumont track. Better placed here. HUMILITY just whacked away when a distant third over 2000m at Kembla last start. Lacks the dash of the top two picks but will keep coming and must be considered. JAYCO hasn't won for a while but could fill a place with a soft run in front. SUGGESTED PLAY: Force Of Magic can win this back up to the mile.
