Small field but a good tempo is expected with Steel Beat, Fez Mint and Fleur Magique pressing on. FLEUR MAGIQUE (6) is a two-start maiden who looks close to a win after placing at both runs, the latest when third over 1200m at this track. Should camp just off the leaders. Expecting a bold showing. STEEL BEAT (4) was lining up for just the second time last start when sixth over 1200m at this track, beaten 8 lengths. Has the pace to take a forward position. Well placed and worth another chance. LUMINOUS GLORY (3) turned in a moderate effort on debut last start when fourth at this track over 1200m, beaten 9 lengths. Has upside and worth including. FEZ MINT (2) was in the money on debut before finishing fourth last time, beaten 12 lengths over 1500m at this track. Should camp just off the leaders. Can feature in the finish.
