GOING: N

TAB FEDERAL 1206m

Track: AW   Clouds (Max: 12)   Rail: True.  

Fast pace with Ferrari Girl showing out and Princess Halo crossing to apply some pressure. MOGO MAGIC (1) has been racing in better company and found more like his best beaten 2.8L at Gosford a month ago. The longer sprint should suit, and the 4kg claim brings him right into it. PROPHET'S PRIDE (4) resumed with a 1L defeat here this grade, when expected to win. Strips fitter and the longer sprint suits. Proven second up and will likely position forward. KEIKOKU (8) was quickly back on track narrowly beaten in a Parkes Open. He gives away stars but charges home, and carries just 53kg again with the claim. The Pepper yard is flying. CRAVING MAGIC (3) is busting to win and also has decent claims. He's been freshened, and JVO will give him every chance from an inside barrier. SUGGESTED PLAY: Having something on Mogo Magic.
