Magic Control can hold the front from a favourable barrier. KAHOLO ANGEL (5) made it back-to-back wins with an impressive 0.5L victory here 42 days ago. He's turned in a quiet trial since then and with the ratings band of the race, he'll carry the same weight for Wong. Looks to map similarly this time around and can bring up the hat-trick. RAGING BLIZZARD (2) settled back in the run and finished 0.8L off the winner first-up into the campaign. Kept fresh and returns to his preferred track and trip. Bowman now hops in the saddle and he appears the main danger with improvement anticipated. STORM RIDER (12) bolted in two back before a disappointing performance as favourite last start. He drops 9kgs today with the rise in grade and with a touch of luck from a tricky gate, he'll be hard to hold out. BEAUTY WAVES (3) is up to 1200m now but rates highly off the last start win. Purton hops back in the saddle now and he can play a major role.
