R5. Sheila Gwynne Classic - 1 January 1970
|
Second-Up Specialist
Magnifisio is a second-up specialist, boasting 5 wins from 8 attempts with another 2 minors. While 1400m is on her limit I think she has probably lost that element of sharpness and requires the extra distance late in her career. While Wink and a Nod won well last start I think she found her pet distance of a mile on her surface of choice and will find dropping back to 1400m on a Good dry track a fair bit tougher. 4 runs in 4 weeks may take its toll here and I'm happy to label her as a lay. Going with Magnifisio who should have trimmed up from her first run and will prove too strong for these. Cadenza ran an honest race alongside Magnifisio after a much softer run throughout and should figure in the finish again. Zoetomtaya has been specked in betting at her past few after winning the Pinjarra Pearl Classic. Considering she safely accounted for Zonte and Queen of Choice in that run and meets both gallopers considerably better at the weights 50-1 is a big price for a Durrant trained mare who has 4 victories and 4 minors at Ascot and 6 wins over 1400m.

agree they went too hard upfront, just look at the second last and last horse before the bend and where they finished, Culverin & KOK flew home into the placings, that wouldn't have been possible if the pace upfront wasn't so hot

As somebody mentioned earlier KOK fair dinkum dawdled out of the barriers.The new whip rules may not suit a horse like him. He needs stoking up! Former great jockey Rod Kemp would be a perfect fit to ride.
