MAGIC MILLIONS PROVINCIAL MAIDEN HANDICAP 1600m

Track: HEAVY 10   Rain (Max: 16)   Rail: Out 3m Entire.  

Little early pressure expected in a race devoid of an on-pacer. HIMEROS (8) 15-start maiden who gets his chance here in this fairly weak 1600m race. Up in trip with the extra weight when a plugging fourth over 1890m at Newcastle on April 24. This looks his pet trip and placed this course and distance in the past. Go close. NOIR VITESSE (3) best run to date when jumped in trip for a fighting on-pace second over 1500m at Goulburn on April 29. Backs-up quickly and returned good figures at latest. Can go on with the job now. HIGHLAND EIGHTGEE (4) up sharply in trip with the claim when sitting on the speed for a tough second over this trip at Hawkesbury on April 18. Expected to sit on the pace again and should get through the conditions. HUMPTY DOO (5) made up a little ground late second-up when sixth over 1400m at Newcastle two weeks ago. Looking for this trip now and not to be underestimated. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 8,3,4,5.
