GOING: G(4)

Magic Millions SA 3 & 4YO Classic 1200m

Track: GOOD 4     Rail: True.  

Violet Lovebug to take charge ahead of Shadhavar at a solid tempo. SHADHAVAR (3) is the one to beat. Sharp on-pace type from the Dabernig yard who will take full advantage of the inside draw. Two jump-outs have him ready and he’ll give supporters a great sight. DANCING STORM (1) is ticking along superbly this prep and was only denied a lip last start. The wide alley is the challenge but he has the talent to overcome it and must be included. VIOLET LOVEBUG (10) has been in terrific form, winning three of her last four. Slight query rising in trip off a month between runs but she’s kept the legs ticking over with a jump-out and should burn across to lead. CASH (2) burst onto the scene but has just struggled in his last two when thrown in deep. Freshened 49 days and given a jump-out. Don't forget. LIGHT THE NIGHT (4) looks the best of the rest. SUGGESTED PLAY: Shadhavar to win.
