Race 2 — Magic Millions Digital Hcp (C2) 1300m · jumps

Race preview

Welcome to Kalgoorlie for the Magic Millions Digital Hcp (C2) over 1300m on a good4 track under overcast skies, where the win market places Hello Veneta at the head of affairs ahead of Buon Amici, Couldabeenahandbag, Gold Lilly, Spank Appeal, and Shimari. Fortune favours the bold, and the value sits with looking closely at how this race maps out across the field.

The market leader Hello Veneta lines up for trainer P J Fernie with Lucy F Fiore in the saddle from barrier 6, carrying a 4kg weight increase following a solid third placing at this venue over the 1300m journey where it knuckled down well when fancied. Meanwhile, Couldabeenahandbag is racing in great heart for P D Tapper and Madi Derrick from barrier 3, coming off a narrow placing over this exact course and distance where it worked on the speed and just missed, suggesting it is suitably placed to give a strong sight.

Further down the market order, Gold Lilly draws barrier 5 for David A Smith and Austin Galati, having run on hard last start in a similar class test at this track and showing enough to indicate a win wouldn't completely shock. With Hello Veneta positioned as the leader in the speed groups and others like Shimari pushing forward from barrier 2 after a fresh win, this 1300m scamper shapes as a fascinating tactical battle where taking a bold stance against the shortest runner could unearth some genuine overs.

Ex D L Morton. Trained here now. Under a hold, only battled home this course. Could give some cheek at odds.

ILB

Was $7.50 and appeared lacklustre when 8th last start at the track. Should improve and back in an easier grade. Change in trainer. Worth a lot of thought in this race.

RP

Finished last of eight over 7f here (handicap) two weeks ago; can be a player at this level; representing new stable today; warrants plenty of respect.

RSIS

Odds of 13/2 and appeared lacklustre when 8th last time at the track. Should improve and taking on a lower class of opponents. First appearance for a new trainer. Should progress and will be close.

Ex D & B Pearce. Trained here now. Knuckled down for third this venue over this journey when fancied. Has speed. Will take a power of beating.

ILB

Outgunned at the finish when 3rd last time around here and strong performer at the distance. Has plenty of early speed. Matched against lesser competition. Winning potential.

RP

Minor honours in a handicap two weeks ago (15-8), that form boosted; first start for new trainer; likely to go well.

RSIS

Applied plenty of pressure when 3rd beaten by 2 1/4L last run at this track and proven performer at this trip in the past. Expected to be competitive.

Racing in great heart. Worked on the speed and just missed in the 3yo+ Hcp (C2) this course. Looks suitably placed in this line-up.

ILB

Right up there last time at this venue. Could feature prominently.

RP

Ran well when beaten a nose here over 6f (handicap) two weeks ago; series of good efforts to her name; record suggests she is usually one to take on for win purposes so unlikely to trouble the principals.

RSIS

Close to a win last run at this track.

Refused to shirk task in 3yo+ Hcp (C2) this course. Win wouldn't shock.

ILB

Good effort to run 3rd last start at the track. Finishes off strongly. Prefer in something easier.

RP

Missed out by half a length over 6f here (handicap, not far behind Couldabeenahandbag) 17 days ago; has been fairly consistent lately; has a chance.

RSIS

Zipped home into 3rd last time around here. Should get going late.

All honours in the small field at Leonora. Stiffer task now but don't undersell.

ILB

Racing on a quick back up. Rocketed home when winning last time at Leonora and has a good draw. Should be going forward early. Large claim helps. Others make far more appeal.

RP

Appears to be on the upgrade judged on two most recent runs; shed maiden tag when winning by just under 2l (Leonora) last week in a maiden; hard enough to fancy despite that win last time.

RSIS

On a quick back up. Picked up late to win last run at Leonora and gets a favourable stall. Has good tactical pace and will be nicely positioned.

Fair way from the winner but battled home into third at Leonora. Well into preparation now, can make the podium.

ILB

On a short turnaround. Came in 3rd last start at Leonora and will appreciate a good gate. Looking at others.

RP

Didn't run too badly when out of the frame at Leonora (beaten 7l) over 7f (handicap) last Saturday; one win to his name was achieved a fair way back; makes limited appeal.

RSIS

Backing up quickly. Honest race when 3rd last start at Leonora and drawn by the rails.

Odds correct as at . Odds can change.
