5:50am - TAB.COM.AU HANDICAP | 1300m | | i

BROOK MAGIC backs up and has a crack at 1300m here, she tends to roll at a STRONG to FAIR tempo, Tim Clark will try and make it as steady as possible given the distance is a stretch for her. The race sets up very well for REDOUBLE after surging late over 1100m last week. He beat Flow on the back-up last prep, should find a nice spot near the pace, prefers this distance and seems ideally weighted with the claim. All ticks! A few on similar ratings that could challenge if he fails; PELENTHRONIUS (plain trial, but does like wet), PETROSSIAN (under-rated, in the mix) and PHILOSOPHY all have recent ratings that put them in the mix. Risky chances to BEST GUESS (wet 1300m not ideal?), BROOK MAGIC (1300m not ideal?) and INVICTUS PRINCE, who looked very impressive in two trials (finally settling well) and could swamp them all late if swoopers are suited.
