Vega Magnifico to take up the running with Tastula and Pocketing close at hand. Anything could win this tricky little race. VEGA MAGNIFICO (6) went to the lead in a change of tactics last start but was beaten at the furlong in a BM84 over this distance at Caulfield. Comes home to find an easier race today. Best form puts him in top - five unplaced runs from five Rosehill appearances the worrying stat. GOD'S WINDOW (2) has been ridden cold and failed to land a glove in his two runs this prep. Up a little in distance and back in class might be the recipe for a return to form. TASTULA (8) dug deep to just prevail in a Canterbury midweeker recently. Harder this time but can keep improving at just the third run of the prep. POCKETING (3) disappointed last Saturday over the mile. Class runner worth another chance. SUGGESTED PLAY: Most of these have convictions - Vega Magnifico on top without much confidence.

CHRIS WALLER 5YO BAY GELDING 57.0KG T M Snow & Racing Fans (Mgr: J L Blight) Form hard to fault. At the latest run 2nd of 13 at Caulfield Bm84 on September 20 over 2000m, 2 len behind Gilded Water carrying 59kg at $18. The start before that won by a long-neck at Caulfield Bm78 August 30 over 1800m in soft going defeating Jareth with 59kg at $7.50. Possibly a better horse going left-handed but his numbers suggest he is right in this. |

The start before that 5th of 8 at Moonee Valley Bm78 on August 23 over 2040m, 2 len behind Navy King carrying 61kg at $8. Rates highly. Back home after mixed results in Victoria - good enough to trouble this field. |

TASTULA
M, W & J HAWKES 5YO BROWN GELDING 53.0KG I R Johnson & Dr A R Johnson Third-up today and placed third-up in the past. Resuming 8th of 11 at Randwick Kensington Bm72 on August 27 over 1550m, on a wet track; 5 len behind Hooligan Tommy carrying 59.5kg at $21. Second-up won by a nose at Canterbury 5yo+ Bm72 September 17 over 1900m defeating Cash Me with 59.5kg at $10. Up in grade but plummets 6.5kgs and is progressive so has to be considered. |
