Ballarat Race 2 - Manhari Mdn Plate
MONTJUIC MAGIC (8) had been showing talent at the jumpouts before a bold effort on debut at Cranbourne nearly 3 weeks ago when finishing runner-up. He will make the natural improvement second up and with Damian Lane in the irons this time, he can go one better. FOX MAN (4) gave a good sight in front at Warrnambool just over 3 weeks ago and was only bloused out late, finishing second by a short-head. He is knocking on the door and will pick up his maiden win at short notice. COOL CHARLIE (1) has changed stables since last racing in the spring. He has been runner-up in a couple of jumpouts at Bendigo and will give this a shake. JAHANGIR (5) had a tough trip on debut at Warrnambool and boxed on solidly. Include in all combinations.

Gelding back from a spell of six months. Has placed previously first up from a break. Finished off last campaign fifth of 13 at Morphettville 4yo+ Mdn-Sw October 5 over 1050m, 3.5 len behind Boltonova with 58kg at $5. When resuming last campaign second of 8 at Bendigo Mdn-Sw June 4 over 1100m, soft track; 5.5 len behind Reserve Bank carrying 59.5kg at $13. Looks all set for a bright return.

Most recently gave a sight but was run down late 2nd of 7 at Warrnambool 3yo Mdn-Sw on March 10 over 1000m, head behind Self Serve carrying 58kg at $12. Before that 5th of 8 at Colac Mdn-Sw on March 2 over 1008m, 5.5 len behind Nietzsche with 59kg at $6. In form and is a leading hope.

Was well in the market at debut, second last of 7 at Warrnambool 3yo Mdn-Sw on March 10 over 1000m, 3.5 len behind Self Serve carrying 58kg at $4.60. Has upside and may be worth following.

Gelding by Overshare facing the starter for the first time. Finished fourth in a Bendigo jump-out on March 12. Others rate better so prepared to watch this time.

At debut, made ground from midfield; 2nd of 9 at Cranbourne Mdn-Sw on March 14 over 1000m, 2 len behind Under My Thumb with 57kg at $15. Better for that outing and looks the one to beat.
