Genuine tempo from Montjuic Magic leading Torvega. Small field but looks to be a fair bit of pressure at the front. GLIDING LIGHTENING (5) ran on hard to score maiden two back then tackled much tougher grade last time and ran last but less than three lengths from the winner at Caulfield. This is far more suitable and will be winding up strongly. BELLA CINQUE (1) has the big weight for her return offset by the big claim. Goes very well fresh and placed only try course and distance. TORVEGA (6) was disappointing last time but returns home and only try here at this trip tried to lead throughout and just missed. Low drawn and can give a sight. MONTJUIC MAGIC (4) was well fancied fresh-up at Stony Creek and led throughout for a dominant maiden win. Placed only try course and distance, has the inside and small field suits. Take catching again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Gliding Lightening can atone.
