MAGIC CONTROL

Three weeks ago, this horse ran well in a straight course race, settling comfortably tracking the leaders and showing good acceleration in the middle stages. He finished third, beaten by one and half lengths. Last run he switched to Happy Valley over 1200m for his debut at this distance. This time, no additional weight will be carried, the distance suits him well, and he can secure a good position tracking the leaders with an advantageous barrier draw. He possesses the strongest finishing kick in the field and is expected to run on strongly, potentially as a dark horse.
