Verdict
Magic Glade gets the confident vote with Dancing Mystery and Forever Phoenix rating the main dangers. The selection won well last time out when defeating Tag Team, he again has conditions to suit and despite rising in the weights he is taken to win again. Dancing Mystery rates the main danger he defeated the selection last time out when they both met but the selection is better off at the weights here and he is taken to gain his revenge. Forever Phoenix is another worthy of respect.on his best form but he has yet to prove himself on this surface and is over looked for that reason. Of the remainder Justalord has plenty of pace and could go well from his good draw while Trinculo is from a shrewd yard and is worth noting in the market but for the winner we return to Magic Glade.
