HOLLY MAGIC (1) has proven too strong with wins at her last two, scoring by 6 lengths (21.58) last time and by 2.5 lengths (21.63) two back. Has a strong record from this draw, notching two wins and two minor placings from four starts. Ideally placed to take this out. ASTON LUTON (2) missed the frame latest when seventh at this track (23.00) but scored four back at this track (21.85). Solid record here at the distance winning five races. Goes well out of this box with a win and five minor placings. Likely to play a prominent role. LEMON SLICE (3) missed the frame and was safely held latest finishing 6th at this track following on from a third place finish (22.14) there the start prior. Form here at the trip sound including five wins. Can measure up this time. COLONEL'S DREAM (7) generally performs well over this distance.

Recorded a 6 length win (21.58) in a Grade 4 last time at this track. Yet to miss the frame from four starts from the draw, including two wins. Has ability and looks a key chance.

Solid performance to post a big 4.5 lengths win at this track over 380m (21.83) beating Emmy Panama in Mix 5 on May 1. Ran one of the fastest times on the program in her latest win. Stay with her.
