RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: SOME MAGIC (7) looks like running a very short-priced elect here in the last leg of the main Quaddie. First-up at Terang on the back of a good trial, the Emma Stewart runner made an early break and did a huge job to get so close while beaten into sixth. He was always chasing over the short trip and clear air in the final quarter would have seen him finish even closer. His only other career start resulted in a huge 21.8m win at Melton on debut last year. He looks smart and a faultless display should see class prevail. REIGN EM IN (6) won in this grade at Echuca three starts ago and looks well placed to run into second. He was completely outclassed two runs ago and then didn’t have much luck at all when fifth at Bendigo last time out. TAPPY (5) hasn’t been seen at the races for over a month but has ability and was a good third before his little freshen-up, while ASMILEANDAWINX (2) should find the front early and from there can finish in the trifecta and First 4 numbers.
