GOING: S(5)

MAGIC MILLIONS MARCH YEARLING SALE BENCHMARK 70 Handicap 1640m

Track: SOFT 5   Rain (Max: 27)   Rail: +6.5m Entire.  

Moderate tempo with Sunlord leading the way and a few others keeping in touch. ROCK YA (7) resumes here but the form he showed when last in work was good enough for a race of this nature. Revved up for this with two recent trials and gets Rodd on top from a low draw. Expecting a strong showing while fresh. The well-related SUNLORD (8) (half to 2xG2 winner Splintex) will strip fitter second-up from the break and must be respected out of the Bruce yard. Hard to ignore. LARIDAE (10) has placed over this course and distance and gets in light with the claim. Don't dismiss lightly. ECLAIR AWESOME (6) has a win and a second from three attempts at this mile journey and maps ideally for Maloney from gate two. In the mix. DELRICO (5) is a bit hit-or-miss but is more than capable enough on his day. Include in calculations. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 7,8,10,6.
