GOING: G

LUCKY FISH MAGIC MILE PROGRESS PLATE 1600m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 20)    

Genuine pace with The Grey King taking up the running ahead of Bombers In The Sky and It Is My Time. The Snaith yard has two talented types resuming. NATIVE RULER (4) hasn't raced since tackling Grade 1 Durban July and wasn't too far from the winner after drawing a horror gate. Yet to win fresh but very well placed this level and expected to go close if anywhere near best. Stablemate OKAVANGO (6) is also resuming after taking on the top level last time in the same race, finishing a coupe of lengths behind Native Ruler. Is a course and distance winner and well placed this class. CAPTAIN WEST (1) was fifth last start in Grade 3 company over 1400m and has the fitness edge on the top two. Yet to win at the mile but will take catching. HAT'S PRIDE (8) is another resuming and although yet to win fresh bets figures stack up. Worth including.
