GOING: H(8)

MAGIC MILLIONS BRIGHT SHADOW - LISTED - WEIGHTS RAISED 2.5KG 1110m

Track: HVY8   Rain (Max: 23)   Rail: True. (Pent: 6.25)  

Lots of speed predominantly from Liquor, Navyonthehighway and Tiger Shark. The $160,000 Listed Bright Shadow. IN FLIGHT (2) is on the doorstep of another victory with consecutive runner-up finishes and strikes a winnable contest here. Drawn perfectly for Collett in gate two and will strip fitter third-up from the spell. Expected to go one better. KIN (3) wasn't too far off the top selection when resuming and gets the services of McDonald in the stirrups. Leading player again. NAVYONTHEHIGHWAY (7) has won three from four around this circuit and will be better for that first-up hit-out. Deserves respect on best figures. TIGER SHARK (1) is a last-start winner who shouldn't be slept on. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 2,3,7.
