Expecting Thailess to take up the running with Wrote To Arataki and Pop Award close at hand. MAGIC TIME (2) is having her first run since seventh in the All Aged Stakes in the Autumn. She has jumped out nicely and is sure to make her presence felt over 1200 metres first up. MISS ROUMBINI (12) made it two consecutive wins last start when bolting away with the Magic Millions Fillies and Mares. The strength of that win holds her in outstanding stead amongst these mares. POP AWARD (10) is fit and firing after winning the Regal Roller Stakes at this track last start. She can hold a forward position and be ultra-competitive in this field. STRETAN ANGEL (11) began last campaign in the Lightning Stakes with a fantastic second-placed effort. She raced herself out of form after that, but her best form stands up in this grade. MANAAL (3) has claims in her first race as a mare. SUGGESTED PLAY: Stretan Angel is the bet.
