Race Tip

ALTERCATION (5) has been in the money at both runs this prep, the latest when beaten a nose into second over 4½f at Newcastle. Among the leading chances. MAGIC SPEED (8) kicked off this prep with a win a month ago, scoring over 4½f at Queanbeyan. Has an impressive two wins from three career starts. Should be in this for a long way. TWINKLING STAR (7) started this prep with a win two runs ago. Couldn't follow that up last time out when third over 5½f at this track, beaten 1. 75 lengths. Nicely placed to return to winning form. BALLYHOO (6) got off the mark when resuming from a lay-off over 5f at Kembla Grange last start, scoring by a head. Re-unites with Chad Lever who was on board last start. Must be respected now that the penny has dropped.
