Off the low draw Dug Another Hole should lead at a genuine tempo. MADAME MAGIC (2) was too good at Ascot a fortnight ago when running over the top to win by 0.4L. That form may have been franked by now and while she has drawn wide, she tends to get back anyway. Put up a good winning figure last start and can go on with the job. BLACK ORA (12) missed out last start over 1000m at Ascot when favourite and now rises up to 1400m for the third time. She's run well over this trip previously and it wouldn't surprise to see her go to another level now. Pike sticking is a big push for her chances. CORRECT CHOICE (8) got the job done over 1500m last start at Ascot. Back in trip may be a slight niggle, but he maps beautifully with the claim for Gaerth. Can bring up back-to-back wins. BLUE ROCKET (7) is better than she showed last start and now rises in trip again. Can sit close to the speed and get back to her best. KNOT SECRET (6) is racing in good order and has to be included. SUGGESTED PLAY: Madame Magic can score back-to-back wins.
