GOING: G

Magic Millions Top End Classic 1300m

Track: Good   Clouds (Max: 27)   Rail: True.  

Good tempo expected with Lochlorian, Down The Wicket and Throw At Da Stumps rolling forward. LOCHLORIAN (4) has thrived since relocating here from Victoria earlier in the year, winning once and finishing runner-up in 3 starts on this track. There is more depth to this field, but he drops 4kg from his last start second, and he will be hard to hold out. BAHAMA BAY (3) failed to finish his race off as well as expected when pulling up last in a 5-horse field 16 days ago. He is down in class this time and can make amends. Follow your money. TELLEZ (5) was a well-deserved winner here on Saturday, and if he backs up, then he will be hard to hold out again. THROW AT DA STUMPS (1) has been a quality performer in this area for some time, and was third fresh up here just over 2 weeks ago. His saddle shifted that day, which makes that run look even better. Stick with him. YAKI ISHI (6) is building up his fitness levels and was last seen racing over a mile here 5 days ago. He has 4kg less to carry this time, and is set to put his best hoof forward. Include in all combinations. SUGGESTED PLAY: Lochlorian is the top pick in an even contest.
