GOING: G

GIFTS UNLIMITED PACE (SKY 1) 1800m

Track: GOOD      

MAGIC CAPTAIN (6) switched yards after a win at Wagga and started a hot favourite in his first SA outing but he had to work and was out of the money. Prepared to forgive that as he looks the standout in a race that has been weakened by scratchings. RUTHLESS OFFENDER (5) ended last campaign with a win at this circuit and distance and will be fitter for a solid fourth when resuming. Can progress off that. RUMBLE ALONG (4) is working towards a win having placed in his two outings here since a spell. BALLADORO (2) can feature from a low draw.
