Cracking tempo with Astern Magic and Debating leading the way. JUST ALBERT (3) is a former Victorian who has had a few starts for the new yard and got off the mark in this area in style last time, coming with a swooping run to score. Drawn well and same claimer aboard. Will be tough to stop with a repeat. DEBATING (2) is a course and distance winner last start when led throughout and clung on to score. More weight and tricky draw but will be in this for a long way. ASTERN MAGIC (8) was a little disappointing over 1200m last time but the start prior was here over 1300m and led until the final few bounds. Will take catching off the low draw again. MAX ROCK (7) settled back here last time and turned there but flashed home into third. Will be doing the same this time. RISING FIRE (1) resumes in easier grade and has the ability to feature fresh. SUGGESTED PLAY: Follow up on Just Albert.
