Kal yesterday, strong fighting win to Western Crown & Moondance Magic getting back into some form, great place dividend.

Reasonably strong maiden. Form should stand up. The 2 behind Western Crown - Shiroko & Landscapes (both former eastern staters) ran good races.

Saw that race, the first 3 really cleared out from the rest!

Marasco
 

Marasco back at his Ascot stables for the past 8 weeks.

Kersley has plotted the Belmont Newmarket (1200m), with a ceiling topweight of 60kg, or the Goodwood Sprint (1300m) which is run at WFA, on August 4 and 18, as Marasco’s likely starting points.

Champion WA-born jockey Damien Oliver is trainer Fred Kersley’s first choice to ride Marasco in his ambitious plans to tackle Victorian spring features.

Thanks watsonnek , Distance races can be a bit tricky and always like to
look for something at a bit of a price. Paid off this time.
