GOING: G

Vale Peter Eustace BM64 Handicap 1728m

Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 18)   Rail: Out 3m Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.38).  

Good early pressure with Satin Image, Eddy Street and Cable Dancer to vie for the lead. MAGADAN (9) was back to his best missing a whisker this track/trip in a 58. Keeps Mott and has weight relief. Maps well and is capable of going one better in what looks a suitable assignment. SATIN IMAGE (10) tired late at Bairnsdale after leading them up and drops back to the mile now. Best form is good enough and the cross-over nose band goes on again. Can make her presence felt. KOROBEINIKI (7) was a big first-up winner before failing last start. Usually bounces back third-up and the gear changes suggest she's in much better shape now. Big chance. THE CUNNING FOX (1) will be fitter for two trials coming in and wasn't far away at Flemington when fresh last campaign. Inlcude. SUGGESTED PLAY: With Magadan.
