GOING: G(4)

MAGIC MILLIONS SUPER MAIDEN HANDICAP 1300m

Track: SOFT 5   Clear (Max: 22)   Rail: True.  

Moderate tempo with Royal Botanic leading the way and a few others keeping in touch. ROYAL BOTANIC (10) went to the front in a change of tactics last start and battled on well to be only beaten a length over 1250m at Newcastle. That was just her second start so there is further improvement to come. Probably takes a sit today and will be hard to hold out. I AM OVERS (8) settled near the tail then caught the eye late when just outside the placings over 1100m at Gosford last time out. Cherry ripe after two runs back from a spell and the longer trip on a bigger track is the ideal set-up. AGRAFFE ROCKET (2) returns from an 18-week spell and has been gelded. Debuted last prep with an excellent fourth at Randwick in a strong form race. Recent trial winner who looks set to make an immediate impact with the help of a good barrier. DELLUCY (13) is a six-year-old mare without a win in 17 runs which isn't a great profile, but her recent efforts have been solid. One for the exotics. RUSTEMO (1) can run a forward race first-up from an 18-week spell. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Royal Botanic and I Am Overs.
