Verdict

CASCADING (8) has not appeared since finishing fourth in the $500k Magic Millions debutants race over 5f at the Gold Coast in January. Coasted home in a recent Sunshine Coast trial. Finds the ideal race to launch this campaign. PROFIT IN PARADISE (3) as two months between runs when a tiring sixth over this distance at the Gold Coast last start. Sure to take a lot from that outing and from a nice draw should be prominent for a long way. PRESTIGE AUSTRIA (11) finished a distant third on debut to back at Murwillumbah then knocked up most recently at the Gold Coast after showing pace to the bend in a 5f maiden. May not have handled the heavy going last time so worth another chance. MAGIC ALL AROUND (10) is a first starter from the Sally Taylor yard. Went well in a recent trial at Taree. Keep an eye on the betting. FLYING SCARLETT (16) can improve after a modest debut at the Gold Coast 15 days ago.
