Verdict

MICRO MAGIC (9) resumes off a lengthy spell but looks ready to explode fresh after two sharp trial wins. Possesses early dash and is expected to spear forward and take plenty of pegging back. AWEIGH (8) is another who has trialled strongly and maps to get the perfect sit just behind the speed. Sure to be in the thick of things when the whips start cracking. COYOTE (4) makes his stable debut after showing glimpses of ability in Victoria. Hit the line stylishly in recent trial and looks poised to strike fresh. LIGHTNING GLORY (2) is a debutant from the Doyle camp who's shown above-average ability in his hit-outs. Should cross early and give a bold sight. EL TORO MACHO (1) has trialled well enough to warrant respect, especially if the money comes.
