MAGIC MILLIONS QTIS BENCHMARK 85 Handicap 1200m

Track: SOFT 5   Clouds (Max: 31)   Rail: +3 metres Entire Course..  

Expecting Amore Veloce to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sharp trip. BOSSED UP (6) goes well for hoop Maloney who has a win and two placings from just three steers and is yet to miss a quinella spot in three spins around this circuit. Only needs some luck from the wide draw to be playing a major role in the finish. JOHN RAMBO (5) is a two-time winner over this track and trip and will be better off following that first-up hit-out. Looms as the main danger. DREAM SMART (10) gets in on the minimum weight and maps nicely for this from gate three. At top fitness now and rates a genuine top-three conveyance. HATCHET (1) is yet to miss a place in six attempts over this course and distance and doesn't know how to run a bad race. Include in exotics. BOHEMIAN LAD (7) next best from the astute Vandyke yard. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 6,5,10,1.
