GOING: G

Mc Security Handicap 1200m

Track: Good 4   Rain (Max: 16)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.12)  

Off the low draw Rockbarton Shout should lead at a genuine tempo. MAGIC LEPRECHAUN (1) has been freshened since winning the maiden over the border last time. Fitted with a trial and is racing well in three runs for the new yard. Expected to give a sight. WHITSON (4) started favourite and won up strongly to score. Further improved but will need a good steer from wide out. Expected to charge late. SOHO PRINCESS (7) is yet another who got off the mark last time with a big maiden win. Has a nice draw and can repeat with even luck. LAMINAR (3) returned from a long break and found the line strongly for a close-up second. Has a tricky draw but should be hard to hold out again. BALGOWAN (9) was safely held in city class last time. Comes back many grades for this so gets chance to bounce back. SUGGESTED PLAY: Magic Leprechaun can give a sight again.
