GOING: S(6)

MAGIC MILLIONS SHOWCASE MAIDEN PLATE 1200m

Track: Soft 6   Clouds (Max: 25)   Rail: +1m 800m - 400m, True Remainder. (Pent: 5.20)  

Tricky one to map with a number of debutants but over this trip there is good speed anticipated. TUPAKARA (12) Group-placed filly who looks well placed at this level first-up. Came to the end of her prep when fifteenth in the G3 Tbred Club over 1200m at Caulfield last November. Wasn't pushed out in the two trials and brings a superior set of figures here. HARRY'S BOY (6) So You Think gelding from Tarquinn Shadow on debut for the Rodney Northam yard. Closed strongly in his only Scone trial when second over 800m. Leading contender from the draw. OAKFIELD ALASKA (8) Better Than Ready gelding from Believe 'n Achieve on debut for the Scott Singleton yard. Impressed in his last two trials on his home track here. Gets map favours and sure to be thereabouts. FORTHEO (2) ran on late at his first run back with a handy third to Olympian over 1280m at Muswellbrook in a Super Mdn. Maps well and can take a hand in the finish. SUGGESTED PLAY: Tupakara would prove too strong for these.

Second-up. First-up after 16 months made ground from midfield; 3rd of 10 at Muswellbrook Super Mdn-Sw on March 8 over 1280m, 2 len behind Olympian carrying 59kg at $101.

Cannot be disregarded on the back of that sort of form.
