POLYTRACK PROVINCIAL-MIDWAY CHAMPIONSHIPS FINAL 1400m

Track: Good 4   Rain (Max: 23)   Rail: +3m Entire. (Pent: 5.21)  

Solid tempo with several going forward headed by Magnatear. RAPT (11) underrated mare who returns from a let-up. Proven this track and trip and will relish the strong tempo again after launching late for a commanding win at Hawkesbury in the Prov Mid Champs over 1400m on February 20. Genuine each way prospect. MATCHA LATTE (1) classy gelding who's come back much stronger this time in. Returned good figures second up when a comfortable on pace winner as fav over 1400m at Newcastle. Morgan sticks and placed in Group class this time last year. Respect. LORD OF BISCAY (2) racing in career-best form and likes his runs spaced. Covered plenty of ground in the run when a game second over 1400m in the Prov Mid Champs at Newcastle. Fitted with a recent 920m trial and maps to get the gun run. MAGNATEAR (3) three weeks between runs when a narrow second over 1350m at Wyong in the Prov Mid Wildcard. Will take catching from the inside gate. FRENCH RULER (4) finds form at the right time and stays in the mix. The chances don't end there. SUGGESTED PLAY: Rapt each way.
