A lack of early speed leaves it open for Be Magical to run them along. YAMATO (1) turned in a sound effort last time when third over 1400m at this track. Back in trip this time. Strong run last time and is expected to go well again. COSMO BELLAESTELLA (9) booted up from the inside draw to sit on the speed last start then stuck on well to finish 6 lengths away in second over 1400m at this track. In the right race and is sure to prove hard to beat. CURREN THE BOUQUET (8) finished 6 lengths away in seventh last time out over 1000m at this track a week ago. Steps up in journey today. Backmarker who gets home hard. One to consider. BE MAGICAL (2) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 18 lengths into fifth. Nicely placed to find some form.
