GOING: H(10)

SLATTERY CONTRACTING 1200m

Track: HEAVY 10     True  

Eva Magical has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. KUROKO (1) resumes here and will be stronger for the spell. Was a trial third last month. Chance here for sure. EVA MAGICAL (7) resumes in this for a new stable. Has been twice placed and one of those came when fresh up. Keep an eye on the tote. VOICE OF OHIO (9) drawn the ace here. Big improver on her fresh up effort. Cannot be omitted from anywhere in this. SILKY SHUBA (8) is a Stephen Marsh trained three-year-old filly lining up for debut. Scored at her latest trial. A betting push will add to the confidence. JELLY ROLL (3) is a gelding by Swiss Ace on debut. Runner-up in a Ellerslie trial over 800m on May 9. Pay to keep an eye of the betting despite an awkward gate. SUGGESTED PLAY: Kuroko and Voice Of Ohio are the best pair here for punters.
