GOING: G(3)

BARRIER REEF POOLS Maiden Plate 1400m

Track: Good 3     Rail: +0.5m 600m-400m; True Remainder .  

Expecting Magnetic Island to lead Love Ain't Free at just a moderate tempo. MAGNETIC ISLAND (9) finished a head away in second last time out at Dalby. On a 10-day back-up. Strong run last time and is likely to be in the finish. GOLD DAZZLER (1) is a seven-start maiden who returned last time and finished fourth at Murwillumbah over 1200m, beaten only 2 lengths. Chance to break his maiden status with that run under his belt. BOLD BEAUTY (6) missed the placings when resuming two runs back then didn't feature last start when 9 lengths away in 11th over 1400m at Sunshine Coast. Tackling a more suitable race this time so she is likely to play a big role. PRINCE OF SYNERGY (3) finished 5.5 lengths from the winner in fifth at his most recent appearance over 1200m at Toowoomba after he gave away a big start. Likely to be thereabouts. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Magnetic Island.
