ROAD TO MAGIC MILLIONS BOOK NOW Colts, Geldings & Entires No Metro Win Handicap (Wgts Raised 0.5kg) 1350m

Track: GOOD4   Clear (Max: 24)   Rail: True Entire Course.. (Pent: 6.02)  

Genuine pace with Pareto taking up the running ahead of Synergy In Motion and Facundo. PARETO (1) had been improving with racing and that culminated with a solid win around this circuit at the latest effort. Drawn to get across easily from gate four and should be in this for a long way. SYNERGY IN MOTION (15) returned in fine fashion with a dominant win here and gets in well at the weights with the claim. Looks to have plenty of upside and should give backers a sight. FACUNDO (2) has won three of his past four and is racing high on confidence of late. Top-three commodity. The well-related LARRIKIN ROGUE (3) (half to G3 winner Shamalia) is more than capable enough on his day and can feature without surprising. CHIEF WITNESS (5) strips fitter third-up from the spell and may earn some minor money. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 1,15,2,3.
