Verdict

MAJOR MAGNUS (2) missed narrowly two back before a 3L defeat last time out, over the mile at Pinjarra. CJP hops on board now and he strikes a winnable race this time around with the slight rise in trip suited again. Likely to get back in the run but he can finish over the top of his rivals. MERCURY RISING (5) steps out to 1 ¹/16m for the first time today after a solid performance behind a smart winner last time out at Bunbury. It wouldn't surprise to see him improve sharply being a lightly raced 3YO and out in trip for the first time. Can give some cheek. HANSELLE (6) is building toward a maiden win, finishing off well last start from the back of the pack. He's likely to be right back in the run again, but he's well placed with how he's improving. Won't be far away. VALANNE DAWN (10) finds the right race today and won't be far away. ROCKING IN VEGAS (1) is racing well and can't be discounted on his recent efforts.
