Semper Magico picked in the Parliamentary Handicap
The Mark Oulaghan trained SEMPER MAGICO is my selection for the Parliamentary Handicap. He raced last Saturday at Otaki where he ran fifth. With that race under his belt and the testing nature of the Trentham track, Semper Magico may have far too much stamina for his rivals. It is worth noting that he has won six races in heavy going.
LIFFEY (race 7) and PINKERTON (race 8) are two other strong chances at Trentham. LIFFEY raced in the listed WFA race at Wanganui while Pinkerton is another Mark Oulaghan trained horse who won last time out. I have seen Oulaghan trained horses win at Trentham previously after having won the time before.
The bolter could be CHER AMI in race 6. She will be racing for the third Saturday in a row and will be improved by those two races.
