RACE 1 - MAHAGONI (3) at his top for this and a win looks imminent after ranging up strongly when fourth over this track and trip behind Redstone Well in BM88 grade on February 17. Drop in grade suits and looks over the odds at his current each way price. Hard to hold out. PHAROAH'S REIGN (11) has a sound third-up record and happy to overlook latest flop from the wide gate when 14th over 1500m at Rosehill on February 24. Inside gate can see her bounce back strongly with the winkers added. DIMAGGIO (13) fifth-up today and trip suits from the better gate after running an even eighth over 1500m at Rosehill in this class at latest. Parr sticks and looks great value.

Best form is over this track and trip and no surprise to see him return to winning form.
