Maryborough Race 7 - Mcphersons Printing Group Pace
SOME MAGIC (1) was responsible for a far better performance at his latest appearance when he scored over 2100m at Geelong, getting home by 5 metres after leading. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Tackles a similar assignment and he can make it two on the trot. ISTHISTHEREALLIFE (6) saluted for the second consecutive start last time out when she led and battled on well to score by 1.5 metres at Horsham over 2200m. Meets a similar line up and she is all set to make it a hat-trick. KATUNGA EXPRESS (5) is in the mix following a respectable third at his most recent appearance over 1710m at Ballarat. MONTANA PRIDE (2) did a good job to finish in the minor placings two runs back then things went sour last time when he broke and finished a long way back in eighth over 1710m at Ballarat. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Won't find this any harder and he can bounce back.

Last start was well beaten into eighth after being driven well back, behind Telemachus at Ballarat over 1710m on July 23 at $3.10. Raced better the start before that with a game effort despite getting well back, when 3rd (Fr7) over 1720m at Melton was 8th-11.62 at the bell, beaten 6 m by Nugget Rogers (2:02.80) on July 15 at $11. Better than the last run so worth another chance.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 4 m fourth behind Thebucksonyou at Swan Hill over 1750m last start. Before that was beaten 3 metres third at Charlton over 2100m same class on June 15. A big run would not surprise.

Two back was well beaten into third behind Maas Betting Again at Melton over 1720m on July 18 at $26. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5 m finishing third after being driven well back, behind Telemachus at Ballarat over 1710m on July 23 at $2.60. Should be in the finish again.
