Verdict

COURIER MAGIC (3) drops back into Class 5 today and gets the blinkers back on. He's been well fancied in tougher company recently, jumping favourite last start when beaten 2.3L. Wong's in hot form recently and his apprentice claim comes in handy. Looks the one to beat. WINDICATOR FAMILY (4) is knocking on the door of another win, going under in a photo finish here 28 days ago. He draws to get every chance under Poon and it wouldn't surprise to see him go one better this time around. BEAU GOSSE (12) comes through the same race as Windicator Family where they hit the line locked together. He's been a maiden for a long time, but he's turned a corner his past couple of efforts and he has to be included. ESCAPE ROUTE (5) creates interest on the back of a solid trial and with Purton now taking the ride. His record at the track and trip is gross, though there's a few factors hinting that he may have turned his form around.

Horse Racing Basic Terms

Yielding

A rain-soaked turf condition often producing a slick or heavy course and slower finish times.

Also Eligible

A horse that is entered but does not draw into the body of the field due to too many entries, and thus is not permitted to start unless there are enough scratches to shrink the field size.

Dead Heat

Two or more horses finishing so close at the wire, that they were unable to be separated on a photo finish and deemed to have tied.
