Solid tempo anticipated with Battle Of The Ice and Bark leading the way. MASKED MARAUDER (1) wound up strongly last time out to finish 0.8 lengths adrift in third over 1000m at this track when fresh from a spell. He should come on nicely from that and does drop a couple of grades. Go close. BRAVE CAROL (6) ran well below her best last time over 1000m at this track, beaten 2.75 lengths into seventh at $5.50. The fresh win over an in form horse reads well and out to 1200m now suits nicely. BLONDIE'S TORONADO (4) is in great form, lifting strongly to score last start over 1200m at Echuca to make it two on the bounce. Tough draw first look at synthetic but warrants respect. JUST MAGIC (7) notched up the maiden win at the third time of asking last start and the stable fly here, include. SUGGESTED PLAY: Masked Marauder on top.
