Rejoiced and Bettcha The Crown are the likely leaders from wide draws at a good clip. OUR MAGNUS (15) started favourite and looked to have his chance when out of the placings over 1350m at Ipswich last start. Better suited on this bigger track and he drops a massive 6kgs today. Rock hard fit and ready to win. OVIDIUS (8) had been racing well without winning in open company then appreciated the drop in grade when successful last time out over 1200m here. Hasn't raced for five weeks which is a small query but he is very honest and should give a good account. Veteran MAGIC CHARLEE (5) disappointed over 1400m here last start. Has a fine record at this trip so from a better gate today he deserves another chance. NASHIRA (10) has drawn poorly but is fitter for two runs back from a spell and should be charging home. SUGGESTED PLAY: Our Magnus to bounce back and score.
