OVERVIEW: Not for the first time this evening at Vic Harness HQ, it’s time to pick your poison. Here at least, in the opening leg of the programme’s Quad, those poisons are clearly marked. Option one. If you believe that former Kiwi commodity MAGNETIC TERROR (7), who was so impressive in an easier event on his Aussie debut last week, can balance, burn and ultimately demand the front, then he should nit get rolled. If, however, you sense a front row rival like GOTTA SMUDGE (2) might choose to post MAGNETIC TERROR (7) then the pendulum swings back toward the on-fire EVER HOPING (13). The toxin we’re choosing is the latter. Obviously and without question, winning races of this nature at Melton Park from outside the second row is neither normal nor easy. It rarely ever happens. Still, anyone that witnessed EVER HOPING (13) drop from a Cumulus cloud to win at this course four starts back or somehow finish with 8.2m of superstar stablemate Better Eclipse after galloping out in the Melton Plate last start would scarcely doubt his talents. As mentioned above however, MAGNETIC TERROR (7) is also very good and won’t need many favours to make life impossible for his major threat. The chief knockout hope is perfectly drawn last start Black Booker GOTTA SMUDGE (1) while slightly lesser chances also go to MIRAKURU (11) who learnt to win from behind last start, and the always dangerous SASSYOLA (6).

OVERVIEW: Not for the first time this evening at Vic Harness HQ, it’s time to pick your poison. Here at least, in the opening leg of the programme’s Quad, those poisons are clearly marked. Option one. If you believe that former Kiwi commodity MAGNETIC TERROR (7), who was so impressive in an easier event on his Aussie debut last week, can balance, burn and ultimately demand the front, then he should nit get rolled. If, however, you sense a front row rival like GOTTA SMUDGE (2) might choose to post MAGNETIC TERROR (7) then the pendulum swings back toward the on-fire EVER HOPING (13). The toxin we’re choosing is the latter. Obviously and without question, winning races of this nature at Melton Park from outside the second row is neither normal nor easy. It rarely ever happens. Still, anyone that witnessed EVER HOPING (13) drop from a Cumulus cloud to win at this course four starts back or somehow finish with 8.2m of superstar stablemate Better Eclipse after galloping out in the Melton Plate last start would scarcely doubt his talents. As mentioned above however, MAGNETIC TERROR (7) is also very good and won’t need many favours to make life impossible for his major threat. The chief knockout hope is perfectly drawn last start Black Booker GOTTA SMUDGE (1) while slightly lesser chances also go to MIRAKURU (11) who learnt to win from behind last start, and the always dangerous SASSYOLA (6).

Race comment
OVERVIEW: Not for the first time this evening at Vic Harness HQ, it’s time to pick your poison. Here at least, in the opening leg of the programme’s Quad, those poisons are clearly marked. Option one. If you believe that former Kiwi commodity MAGNETIC TERROR (7), who was so impressive in an easier event on his Aussie debut last week, can balance, burn and ultimately demand the front, then he should nit get rolled. If, however, you sense a front row rival like GOTTA SMUDGE (2) might choose to post MAGNETIC TERROR (7) then the pendulum swings back toward the on-fire EVER HOPING (13). The toxin we’re choosing is the latter. Obviously and without question, winning races of this nature at Melton Park from outside the second row is neither normal nor easy. It rarely ever happens. Still, anyone that witnessed EVER HOPING (13) drop from a Cumulus cloud to win at this course four starts back or somehow finish with 8.2m of superstar stablemate Better Eclipse after galloping out in the Melton Plate last start would scarcely doubt his talents. As mentioned above however, MAGNETIC TERROR (7) is also very good and won’t need many favours to make life impossible for his major threat. The chief knockout hope is perfectly drawn last start Black Booker GOTTA SMUDGE (1) while slightly lesser chances also go to MIRAKURU (11) who learnt to win from behind last start, and the always dangerous SASSYOLA (6).

Race comment
OVERVIEW: Not for the first time this evening at Vic Harness HQ, it’s time to pick your poison. Here at least, in the opening leg of the programme’s Quad, those poisons are clearly marked. Option one. If you believe that former Kiwi commodity MAGNETIC TERROR (7), who was so impressive in an easier event on his Aussie debut last week, can balance, burn and ultimately demand the front, then he should nit get rolled. If, however, you sense a front row rival like GOTTA SMUDGE (2) might choose to post MAGNETIC TERROR (7) then the pendulum swings back toward the on-fire EVER HOPING (13). The toxin we’re choosing is the latter. Obviously and without question, winning races of this nature at Melton Park from outside the second row is neither normal nor easy. It rarely ever happens. Still, anyone that witnessed EVER HOPING (13) drop from a Cumulus cloud to win at this course four starts back or somehow finish with 8.2m of superstar stablemate Better Eclipse after galloping out in the Melton Plate last start would scarcely doubt his talents. As mentioned above however, MAGNETIC TERROR (7) is also very good and won’t need many favours to make life impossible for his major threat. The chief knockout hope is perfectly drawn last start Black Booker GOTTA SMUDGE (1) while slightly lesser chances also go to MIRAKURU (11) who learnt to win from behind last start, and the always dangerous SASSYOLA (6).
