MAGIC MILLIONS NATIONAL CLASSIC 1600m

Track: Soft 5   Clouds (Max: 23)   Rail: +2m Entire Course. (Pent: 5.85)  

Exotique Miss can work over from a wide alley to lead. MARE OF MT BULLER (8) saluted at Group 3 level two back before filling the frame in the Listed The Coast at Gosford last time out. Has a solid record over this mile journey only missing a drum once in five attempts and should be right there at the business end again. Kiwi mare PULCHRITUDINOUS (2) showed sharp improvement saluting at Doomben last time out and will have derived a stack of confidence from that breakthrough victory. Clark sticks in the irons and can go back-to-back now. VIVY AIR (7) doesn't win out of turn but is usually thereabouts and will be rock-hard fit for this. Worth serious consideration. LEKVARTE (1) is a bit hit or miss but is more than capable enough on her day. Keep safe. MISS JOELENE (3) will find this easier than what she faced in the Doomben Cup and looks a must for the multiples. SUGGESTED PLAY: Mare Of Mt Buller to salute.
