      Verdict

      The description of truly dire wouldn't get close to how bad this race is and THE MAGIC OF RIO should land it at the expense of Just the Lady. Very easy to back on her latest racecourse visit, The Magic Of Rio ran accordingly. Connections will do well to find such an abysmal race to glean compensation in. Just The Lady hasn't been seen out since October when finishing down the field at this course. She possesses plenty of early pace. Valdemar has been tried in cheekpieces on his last two starts and these have engineered little in the way as far as improvement is concerned. Dancing Welcome does not look a sprinter if racecourse evidence is anything to go by. Yes She Can Can appears very modest indeed. The Magic Of Rio is selected in a race that makes little appeal from a watching or punting perspective.
