Another trappy affair here for punters and again stakes should be kept on the small side but the principals look to be Pernomente Josr's Magic and Wanchai Night and the tentative vote is given to Josr's Magic. The selection was a fair second behind Feisty last time out, that form looks rock solid in the context of this race and although the drop in trip has to be of concern he looks a value bet. Pernomente rates the main danger on his latest third behind Crow's Nest Lad especially as this stiffer track should suit and he should be noted in the market.Wanchi Night is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he has already given the impression he would be suited by a longer trip. Of the remainder a couple of newcomers appeal slightly on breeding but there stables are not renowned for first time out winners and in a race where the market will again be very informative for the winner we return to Josr's Magic
