Goulburn Race 7 - Ladbrokes Goulburn Cup Heat 4 H
LAYTON MAGIC (3) has a fair record and proved too strong last time to win by 2 lengths at this track in a handy 19.55 beating Where's Fernando. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card in scoring last start. In sparkling form and looks the one to beat again. BIG FROST (1) is progressing well and looks close to another win after hitting the frame last run (35.25) at Gosford. Has a good record here at this journey. Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card last start. Hard to beat again. ASCEND FERN (2) is worth forgiving last start after finishing fourth (29.76) at Wentworth Park over 520m. In the mix. GROUND CONTROL (7) is building a solid run wins and will play a big role again.

Was sent out long odds last time but charged out of the boxes with a fast early sectional and gave a sight before being swallowed up late, finishing a 1.3 lengths fourth (29.76) over 520m at Wentworth Park. Recorded four placings in a row prior to the latest effort. Worth another chance.

Could manage only seventh last time but turned heads the start prior when she clocked a fast 29.77 over 520m finishing third at Wentworth Park. Will need to find best form.

Did a good job two starts back at Temora to win by 5 lengths in 25.57, beating Our Chance. Last start finished 5th on October 16 over 440m at this track behind Magic Mania beaten 8 lengths (25.07) in a Grade 5. Can't recommend against this lot.

Was among the placegetters latest at Wentworth Park when a one length second but did clock a solid 29.77 over the 520m trip. This tougher but prefer for a place this time.
