Strong tempo likely with several going forward, headed by Magic To Exceed and Spice Is Right. SANTANOVA (9) looks a nice filly on the rise following a strong first-up effort over 1000m. She can be better again up slightly in trip and Chris Parnham now hops in the irons. Laid a good foundation first-up and she now looks set to go to a new level this time in work. SCENIC GEORGE (5) has trialled well since his first-up win over 1000m here, with that form having been franked in the 17 days since. The map is a little sticky for him, but if he can land in a good enough spot, he should be in the finish again. MAGIC TO EXCEED (2) resumes after a long layoff but his two trials back have been solid. Can feature. DASHING ERIKA (6) will be doing her best work late on resumption. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen on Santanova.
