THOROUGHBREDS
Flemington: Race 4; #7 Stefi Magnetica 
LAY: 7. Stefi Magnetica (WIN) for 5 unit(s) (Rated at: $5.8)
Turn it up, Stefi Magnetica favourite. I thought she might be a really nice bet at $9 in this race. Well backed as soon as markets went up and $3 seems way too short off a $2.5 SP in an Orange BM58 last start, ratings are solid but I can't get near her. Austmarr on top and a bet, jumpout red hot, form and SP's last preparation really good and M.Zahra on are pluses.
Gawler: Race 4; #11 Into The Light
LAY (WIN) 11. INTO THE LIGHT for 1 unit
Thought INTO THE LIGHT's runs this prep have only been fair at Strathalbyn. This looks a much harder MDN and has barrier 15 to deal with. Will take an absolute peach of a steer from the hoop. Prepared to risk at this price. Want to see some improvement from the horse first.
LAY: Buillt (WIN) for 0.5 unit(s) (Rated at: $6)
Racing consistently last few starts but I feel this is the hardest race he has contested this prep. Further, I feel the stablemate Step Aside may be the better horse based on previous overall figures produced. I think this horse is shorter than it should be currently due to the booking of J Mac.
