In depth
Verdict
Wisper has won three times this year but needs to improve further off her current mark while Zambezi Magic completed a course and distance double before well beaten over a longer trip back here. But the application of cheekpieces worked the oracle for MISS DOWN UNDER (NAP) as she opened her account with a recent victory at Sandown and there should be more to come in the headgear. Snapcracklepop is upped in distance having won twice over a mile this year and is preferred to Royal Thunder.
