Verdict
Magic Amour gets the vote in this desperate seller with Majik and Phinerine rating the main dangers. The selection was a fair third in a better race behind Hamaasy last time out; that form looks rock solid and with the drop in grade sure to suit he need only run up to that mark to score. Majik rates the main danger on his latest second behind Charlie Delta in a claimer but he has yet to win over this trip and looks opposable on that basis. Phinnerine is another that could go well on his best form especially as his yard are in top form but one win from 31 attempts is very offputting. Of the remainder, Spinetail Rufous is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he is hard to win with and for the winner we return to Magic Amour.
