Altar Boy, Grinzinger Bishop and Magic Defense can set a good tempo. Great race to end the card. MAGIC DEFENSE (3) has never won at the mile but deserves one after some top recent form. Has won two of last three and is weighted to go forward and take beating again. GRINZINGER BISHOP (4) was safely held in the Strathalbyn Cup last time bit given a let-up since. Has a good record this circuit and brilliant early pace. Will give a sight. THE GIRL'S BOY (2) found winning form third-up over 1400m and should be at peak. Placed only try course and distance and can measure up again. IKNOWHATYOUREDOING (5) is fitter for a good return after a long spell. Rates highly and expected to do much better with that run under his belt. ALTAR BOY (1) wasn't far from the winner last time and has a great record course and distance. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sticking with Magic Defense.
