R7. Heineken-colonel Reeves Stakes - 1 January 1970
|
See the sparks fly
I was a big sceptic of Vega Magic first-up over 1000m in the Group 3 Prince of Wales Stakes and almost as expected he could not find the lead and from there was a horror film for anyone who jumped aboard the favourites bangwagon. This race looks much more suitable and from barrier 6 I expect him to sit outside the Military Reign who will almost certainly fly the gates and lead. From there they control the pace of the race and I'm now going with Vega Magic. He should be conceeding 7kg to Rock Magic on a pure ratings weight scale but this set weights and penalties race is much more in his favour than weight for age first-up. Did not like him first-up, Do like him second-up. First Among Equals was caught in a 5pm Kwinana Freeway traffic jam first-up and effectively never took part in the race. He looks as though he will be right in the middle of horses again so here's hoping the Pontiff can get himself out into clear running. Rock Magic tracking up three wide with cover has to be respected and probably goes round over the odds yet again at the $10 mark. Bourne Supremacy and Military Reign next best.

Choccy up 4 kg in better company and first go around that bend at Ascot added up to problems if you wanted to take $2 10.
