Track: Soft 7     Rail: Out 4m Entire Circuit.  

Golden Magnate, Holding Captive and Prestar to battle for the lead at a strong tempo. Siding with GOLDEN MAGNATE (3) who was a maiden winner on debut at Moe - only scoring by a nose there but with 8 lengths back to third and doing it in good time. Much tougher straight to town now but tipping that number stacks up and he draws for every hope on speed. PRESTAR (1) resumes as a gelding. He didn't fire in two Queensland runs last campaign but the first was behind Grafterburners at Listed level. His earlier 3yo form reads very well behind some of the top horses in the country (Tempted, Beiwacht). AFTERBERNA (12) resumed with a dominant maiden win at Pakenham when coming right away to score by 5 lengths. She can go on with it. LOVEYAMORE (10) was also a dominant maiden winner when last seen at Sale and has been kept on ice since, wary in what looks a strong race. SUGGESTED PLAY: Golden Magnate on top.
