Magnaprime and Romary will likely pair off in front. MAGNAPRIME (2) broke through for an overdue win this course and distance last time in a Class 6. Has a great record course and distance and Erica Byrne Burke has a top record while aboard including four wins. Can measure up again. EARENDEL (7) finished fifth over 1400m at this track when resuming last start, beaten only 1.5 lengths. Plummets in the weights for this and will take catching. PEROLA (3) scored a comfortable win at this track last time out over 1200m. Has a decent record at this track with four wins and four minor placings from 16 starts. Among the chances. NICCO THE GREEK (4) won at this track two starts ago but was below his best at a more recent appearance, finishing sixth over 1200m at this track. Strong record this extra trip and hard to fault if at his best. ZEWINNA (6) wasn't far from the winner last time and can feature in the finish. SUGGESTED PLAY: Stick with Magnaprime.
