Mandible Magic to find the front in the small field. DON'T DECLARE (2) tackled the Listed Placid Ark Stakes at just his third start and held his own as a 50-1 chance, finishing only 1.7L off the winner. He'll be fitter for a recent trial coming in and CJP hops on board today. Looks to have good ability and can put it all together on resumption. VIRESHA (6) gets the services of Pike on board first-up today after going under as an odds-on favourite prior to the break. She'll be fitter for two trials coming in and she can make an impact on resumption. XENTARO (1) stuck on well over 1200m here last week and comes back to the 1000m journey today. He's won 2/4 at this trip and he looks to get every chance from the draw. Third-up now and she can play a leading role. MANDIBLE MAGIC (4) won narrowly last time out when coming over the top form midfield. Carries no weight again and can repeat the dose. SPIRITED STRIKE (3) nice trial coming in and he can pick up from where he left off. SUGGESTED PLAY: Don't Declare gets the nod.

MOON JEWEL
PETRA KOBZOVA 3YO BROWN FILLY 54.0KG N Horton-Jones Dual acceptor. Second run back.

Still early in the prep and might need more time. |
