Magnetic ($2.30 favourite on TAB) is ready to deliver more of the same despite a wide barrier draw and a big weight in the Stan Axtill Memorial at Leeton on Monday.

Boasting one of the best winning strike-rates in the region, Magnetic returns to racing at Wagga on Thursday in the Union Club Hotel Ian Reid Sprint (1200m).

Magnetic – with a second to none record of any horse to race in the Southern Districts in recent times – faces his biggest local test in the Wagga Town Plate Prelude (1200m) on Sunday.
