2:35am - FAIRFIELD RSL CLUB HANDICAP | 2000m | | i

Not a lot of tempo in this tactical 2000m race, perhaps KING VIV going forward with MAGICAL STANCE (prefers cover) and a couple of others for company. VAUCLUSE BAY should be in a position to strike, an early season 4yo in flying form, beating a similar field with contempt last start. He jumps 4kg in the ratings, but remains the one to beat. Each-way chances come from KING VIV, who is progressive and could improve back to Rosehill, along with MAGICAL STANCE, who gets a 4.5kg swing on VAUCLUSE BAY after another unlucky run last start. He draws wide again! ZOURKHAN was only plain last start. MULTIFACETS and NOT A GYPSY next best. [updated 7:25am]
