GOING: S(5)

MAGIC MILLIONS DIGITAL QTIS Three-Year-Old & Four-Year-Old BENCHMARK 70 Handicap 1200m

Track: SOFT 5   Rain (Max: 28)   Rail: +11m Entire.  

Genuine pace with Ave Cantare taking up the running ahead of Andi Don't Care and Alpha Bravo. The consistent FIRST EMPIRE (7) has only missed a drum once in six career outings and that was a close-up fourth at Eagle Farm two back. Has placed two from two around this circuit and should run his usual honest race. MARUNOUCHI (9) was well supported over this track and trip on debut and didn't let backers down with a dominant victory. Winning hoop Thompson stays on top and should get all the favours from the inside alley. Can go back-to-back to start the career. ANDI DON'T CARE (8) goes well for rider Jones who has a win and three placings from just five steers. Has to be included. SUPERHERO (1) has placed two of three over this distance range and will strip fitter second-up from the break. In the mix. GRAMMAR LAD (3) next best in a race with only a handful of chances. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 7,9,8,1.
