Track: Soft 5   Clouds (Max: 20)   Rail: +8m Entire . (Pent: 5.74)  

Money Man and Native Bee have the pace to take up the running at a solid tempo. SPELLMASTER (13) goes up a furlong ad probably does need that. He is definitely bred to want that. Give him another chance. GRAECI (9) had her first attempt for the new yard and came from well back to place. Could very easily sharply improve. VICTORY'S GHOST (4) is ever consistent. The claim will give him a nice boost. Going forward might help. NEPTUNE LEGEND (8) has fought out the finish of the last couple. A longer race has to benefit. SUGGESTED PLAY: Spellmaster on top.
