GOING: H(10)

Blacklocks GWM Maiden Plate 1454m

Track:   Rain (Max: 13)   Rail: Out 3m 1800m - 300m, True Remainder.  

Powerful Majik has good gate speed and can overcome the wide alley to lead. BEST TIME (1) just missed here on debut over 1400m on a heavy track and will have come on. The extra trip shouldn't bother him and he can go on with the job. TSARINA DIAMONDS (12) was sharply better missing a lip at Moe on a slow surface over 1600m. That stacks right up and she keeps the 2kg claim. Fitter and can race forward. Feared. TOSEN IMPACT (7) was a touch plainer at Wangaratta as favourite but the lip defeat at Donald prior would have him in the finish. CHAANDEE (10) is an improver who can get closer. FOGGY BOTTOM (3) resumes and has had a stack of jumpouts. He's shown enough to keep onside. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sticking with Best Time.
