Winner AUD $18,000 - 9 runners
5 ⅜f
Going: Standard
Surface: AW
CHOP THE ICE (5) had been in top form landing two consecutive wins but last start missed the frame when fourth over 6f87yards at this track. Has a very good record here with three wins from six starts. Will prove tough to beat. CYCLONE RUPERT (8) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 3 lengths when fourth over 5½f at Nowra two-and-a-half weeks ago after being in the firing line on the bend. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. VELLA MAGIC (6) is experiencing a long win drought, extended last start when eighth over 6f87yards at this track after being prominent at the turn. Nicely placed to break the run of outs. CRAVING MAGIC (2) was a winner over 6f87yards at this track last time out, dropping out early before coming home with a powerful run to score by half a length. Has never missed the frame at this venue, including three wins. Worth considering.
