Omakau Race 7 - W S Hickey Memorial Handicap Trot
PRACTICAL MAGIC (1) is in good form at present. Finished second at her latest appearance over 2700m at Ascot Park Raceway, beaten 2.25 metres. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. This doesn't look as hard so she is the one to beat. MAJESTIC LOVE (10) produced a better effort last time out when she scored by 2.25 metres over 2700m at Gore Raceway. Has the talent to make it two on the bounce. MISSILE (9) is in the mix following a fifth at his most recent appearance over 2700m at Ascot Park Raceway. TORQUAY STREET (6) is improving all the time and she must be respected after scoring last start by a neck at Gore Raceway over 2200m.

Two back was beaten by 6 m finishing second behind Aveross Majesty at Oamaru over 2000m on December 11 at $3.90. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.25 m finishing second behind Sheza Gift at Ascot Park Raceway over 2700m on December 20 at $4.70. Nicely drawn and expected to measure up again.

Failed to impress last start; 6th (Fr8) over 2200m at Gore Raceway, beaten 10 m by Torquay Street (2:52.10) in 3yo+ on December 27 at $21.50. Showed ability the outing before when he won by 2.25 m (Fr8) at Wingatui (3:00.10) beating Burning Love in on December 8 at $7.30. Capable of playing a major role.
