GOING: S(5)

Magic Millions Digital Handicap 1200m

Track: Soft 5   Clear (Max: 23)   Rail: Out 3m Entire Circuit.  

Moderate tempo headed by Olivia Rose from her low draw. Slight leaning to the resuming REINA ISABELLA (9). She was an easy winner first up last campaign over this track and distance in very similar company on heavy ground and a repeat of that number goes a long way here. She'll land in a good spot on speed and take running down. TAN TAT DELIGHT (12) also resumes having contested some good races in her maiden campaign. She's trialled nicely leading in, just not sure how big a start she could give them. OLIVIA ROSE (11) has a run under the belt, just finding one better here first up when in the market. Fitter now, she draws to effect and will take beating. ZUNNA (10) resumes off a trial win. She was making good strides in Adelaide last campaign and must be respected on her home deck for the in-form Stokes yard. DOLLAR SHOT (1) can run well fresh with the big weight. SUGGESTED PLAY: Reina Isabella on top.
