GOING: H(10)

HEINEKEN HANDICAP 2200m

Track: HEAVY     True position  

The race pace here looks to be nothing too testing this being around two-turns over 2200m. STOLEN MAGIC (4) is a class riser here after a very impressive Maiden win at her last start. Ace gate once again. She can repeat the dose for sure in this field. BELLA ROSE (8) is well drawn and can be top top tier here. Same stable as the top pick. Course proven. Looks the quinella for sure. HIDALGO (1) he has been better in his last two runs. Rider change looks a plus and is distance proven. Include here. DANZA (3) gets a change of rider in this. Not out of this to place or be first four. MONTE CIVETTA (5) is a definite chance on how he ran two starts ago at this trip. The change of rider may help. SUGGESTED PLAY: Stolen Magic and Bella Rose are win wagers.
