I’m keen to stick with Magadan when he goes around in Race 5 at Newcastle today.
Magadan has improved with each of his three starts back from a spell, breaking his maiden at Warwick Farm second up before only just missing in Class 1 company last time.
He steps out today in peak order and I think that this looks the perfect race for him.
The final spot in this year’s Provincial Championships Final goes on the line at Newcastle today, and I think that it will be claimed by Kingsheir.
Kingsheir is yet to show his best in two starts back from a spell, but this will be the first time that he strikes a heavy track this time, which is the key to him.
Fitter third-up and from the good draw, we can have an each way play at around the $10 mark.
I thought that Miss Uchitel showed plenty of promise on debut, and she can break her maiden at Pakenham this evening.
The Written Tycoon filly hinted at ability at the trials prior to her first start, and she worked home well to finish second, beaten half a length at Bendigo earlier this month.
With natural improvement, she can begin her rise through the grades.
I thought that this looked a nice race for Extravagant Choice.
Extravagant Choice has missed placing in two of four previous trips to the races, breaking his maiden at Cranbourne, while also racing well around some notable gallopers at his last couple.
He steps out tonight in peak order, and he might not be offered a better opportunity to strike.
