Strong tempo assured from One Whim and The Magistrate leading the charge. NOSTRYIA (3) is yet to salute since resuming but has turned in some strong efforts and the form around him reads very well. Just missed the bob here last time after jumping from a wide draw. Drawn well this time for Holder and can go one better. AZTEC DANCER (5) has a devastating turn of foot on her day and only just missed here when resuming last month. Has been kept fresh with a month between runs and if the pace is genuine she will burst through late. THE MAGISTRATE (6) has been well below his best in his two runs back after trialling strongly in readiness. Willing to give one more chance. COOL THE JETS (1) worked home over the top of them to score at Donald last start. Tougher this time but he has to be taken seriously off that. MAGIC FIELD (2) was only sound when resuming on a heavy deck at Cranbourne. Should've come on from that. SUGGESTED PLAY: Nostryia to win.
