GOING: N

DE BORTOLI 3YO PACE 2150m

Track: GOOD      

TOORAM MAGIC (8) comes here off a last-start win at Cranbourne over 2080m, scoring by 4.5 metres. Talented and has plenty of upside. Will enjoy a pretty soft run from this draw, with the sprint lane to play a big role. SKY CITY (6) has been racing well, filling a top-five position at his last seven starts including a second most recently at Warragul over 2210m. Meets a comparable field so he can figure in the finish. FERRIGNO (5) is in the mix following a fourth at his most recent appearance over 2190m at Mildura. FRANCO TYSON (7) should be thereabouts with some luck from a wide gate.
