PANTHERS PORT MACQUARIE AFL MAGPIES MAIDEN PLATE 1200m

Track: Good 4   Rain (Max: 22)   Rail: True.  

Expecting Piccaderro to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sprint trip. PICCADERRO (3) returns from a lengthy spell and fitted with the two searching trials. Finds a winnable contest today after showing ability on the provincial circuit last campaign. Tongue-tie and winkers come off and will take catching. WAN LOST (4) Zoustar gelding from Group-winning mare Palacio De Cristal on debut for the Kris Lees yard. Two latest trials had merit and the lugging bit goes on. Solid top-three player. CZECH HER OUT (10) total forgive from the outside draw on resumption when a plugging seventh over 1100m at Gosford. Big drop in class from the inside draw. Expected to run an improved race. NA HAMAH (9) finished in the minor money at her last two outings and gets the right set-up for this. Capable of taking a hand in the finish. SUGGESTED PLAY: Piccaderro and Wan Lost look set to fight it out.
