GOING: S(6)

MAGIC MILLIONS GOLD COAST MARCH Maiden Plate 1600m

Track: Soft 7   Rain (Max: 26)   Rail: +10m Entire. (Pent: 6.16)  

Genuine early tempo with Foo Fighter and Fire And Light taking advantage of their low draws. TRUMP CARD (6) had a rocky run fresh up at Doomben and dug deep to finish a game fourth in a blanket finish there 2 weeks ago. He would have taken a lot of improvement out of that effort, and a wet track is no problem at all. He is overdue for his first win and can get the job done this time. POSSIBILITIES (14) has been knocking on the door in her last 4 starts and was runner-up as favourite at Ipswich 3 weeks ago after having a tough trip. A wide gate here could be a blessing in disguise, and she is poised to go one better. HENLEY ROOM (8) caught the eye with a late finishing burst for third at Ipswich 11 days ago and is bred to improve with more racing. His first win is not far away. MISS REILLY (11) and FOO FIGHTER (7) are both worth considering for all combinations. SUGGESTED PLAY: Trump Card to win.
