Race Tip
MYSTERY 'N' MAGIC (5) was a narrow winner in a at this track then out of the money last time when fourth at Cairns. Drops a little in the weights. Has been in sound form this prep with a win and two minor placings from four outings. Leading contender. INVESTOR (7) stuck on well last start to finish third over 7½f at Cairns after showing good early speed. Worth noting Melea Castle goes aboard. Tackling a deeper field this time but he is good enough to take this out. SPEED LEGEND (2) was a most impressive winner last time over 7½f at Cairns, scoring by 5 lengths. Record at this journey is strong with three wins from eight runs and shapes as one to consider. ACROBATIC (3) hasn't been able to break through for an extended period, the latest effort a ninth over 6f at this track after being in the firing line on the bend. Meets some better types this time but he has the talent to test this line-up.
