Genuine tempo expected from Epsom Magic leading Moanastar. BIG TOWN (3) has had the two runs from a spell over a shorter trip than this. Strips fitter this time and will appreciate the rise in distance. Look for a forward showing. GETONIT (6) has been racing well over the border on home track of Mount Gambier. Looks up to a race like this and won't be too far away. PONTMEIRION (4) was placed at Avoca two starts back before a plain run last time. Has the ability and can turn things around here. SUGGESTED PLAY: Back Big Town to win.
