GOING: S(5)

MAGIC MILLIONS BENCHMARK 82 HANDICAP 1500m

Track: Soft 5   Clouds (Max: 14)   Rail: +5m from 1280m to 300m cutaways applies.  

Expecting Rajnish to lead Social Outcast at just a moderate tempo. Strong contest with several leading chances. SIZZLE MINIZZLE (2) backs up quickly after giving them a galloping lesson from the wide draw when leading throughout over 1400m at Dubbo on June 6. Clearly pleased the stable since and expected to run out a strong 1500m. REBEL'S EDGE (5) another on the quick backup after improving sharply when gripping on late to salute over 1600m at Taree eight days ago. Goes well on his home track and winning rider keeps the mount. KNIFE'S EDGE (1) tough old customer who jumps in weight after he swamped his rivals late with a dominant win over 1600m at Parkes. Solid top three player. RAJNISH (9) brings the right figures here and well placed on the limit. Made good ground late when fourth over 1600m at Scone in Highway class. Fitted with a 1200m trial since and worth thought. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 2,5,1,9.
