Expecting Grinzinger Bishop to take up the running with Magic Defense and Mi Mijo close at hand. MAGIC DEFENSE (1) seeks the hat-trick off an easy win this grade over a mile. Has her first go over 1900m but should camp just off the leaders. and prove tough to beat. GRINZINGER BISHOP (2) led and placed second behind the above, beaten 2.3L. He's run some good numbers this distance range at the South Australian provincials and deserves serious consideration. MAXXI BON (4) brings threatening form from Darwin over 1600m and tumbles in weight. Has been finishing his races off and will likely appreciate the 1900m. IKNOWHATYOUREDOING (3) placed third in the Magic Defense race and will be better for that. Has the inside barrier and is in the mix. CAPITOL HILL (5) has been freshened and will be around the mark if he brings his A-game. SUGGESTED PLAY: Magic Defense appeals most.
