Hamilton Park Race 2 - Margaret Smith Memorial Novice Stakes (Gbb Race)
CHICO MAGNIFICA (4) shaped well debuting 8L fourth at Doncaster. Can only improve upon that and stable is having a good spell at present. Tough to oppose. ASHDOWN FOREST (3) indicated ability both starts so far albeit well beaten both occasions. Yard don't often send many up here however go well when they do. Warrants a close look. CODIAK (5) debuted 7L fourth at Doncaster. Finds easier contest and expected to take a step forward. Keep safe. ORPHAN OLLIE (6) holds place claims on debut.

Previously second-up 10th of 12 at Ayr on January 21 over 3200m, on a slow track; 33 len behind They're Chancers carrying 71kg at $251. Can't recommend until he offers something more.

Second-up. First start 2nd of 7 at Goodwood on October 13 over 1800m, on a wet track; 10 len behind Castle Gates carrying 60.5kg at $6. Returned from break eased back early on 6th of 12 at Kempton Park All Weather on July 9 over 2220m, 7 len behind Skimmer with 59kg at $34. Rates highly and should do much better.
