In depth
Verdict
A competitive contest gets proceedings under way and many have chances on their best form but the principals look to be Magic Mistress, Penny Pictures, Navado and Tango Royal and the tentative vote goes to Magic Mistress. The selection is one of the least exposed in the field and won well last time out when defeating Wasted Talent. She again has conditions to suit and off what looks a fair mark she will be hard to beat. Penny Pictures rates the main danger she is another that is well in on her best form and showed she was nearing her best when defeating Saffend Rocket last time and although she is rising in the weights she is a danger to all. Tango Royal is another in good form but he just gave the impression there handicapper had caught up with him when second behind Chivite. Navado is another that could go well he won well last time out when defeating Dickernsbury Lad but his best efforts have come with more cut in the ground and for that reason he is opposed. Of the remainder Flying Spirit is from a yard in form and is worth noting in the market but for the winner we return to Magic Mistress.
