GOING: S(7)

MAGIC MILLIONS F&M MAIDEN PLATE 1280m

Track: Soft 7   Clouds (Max: 18)   Rail: +4m 1200m-300m Cutaway applies .  

Sparkle Socks and Peninhand are both expected to press forward and take it up. ROYAL CHIC (9) solid return in town on a heavy (8) surface when fourth over 1250m at Canterbury in a Super Maiden. Will appreciate the firmer deck from the good draw. Clearly come back well and should prove too good for these. STRASBELLE (12) returns from a lengthy break and fitted with the two trials. Had no luck on debut from the wide gate with a battling sixth over 1000m at this track on a heavy (8) surface. Claim helps and can run into the minor money. MISS BUGATTI (5) improving with racing and desperate for a firmer surface. Most recently she whacked away to finish fourth over 1200m at Port Macquarie on a heavy (9) track. Place best. LINDA'S PRINCESS (4) trained locally and finds an easier race second-up. Unwanted in betting and ran accordingly first-up when she found the 900m too short when placing seventh at Scone. Placed at provincial level last time in and stays in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Royal Chic looks too good for this lot.
