Finished towards the rear of 17 here over 6f (maiden plate) 12 days ago; still looking to open his account after seven runs; others appeal more from an outside post position.

Finished behind Echoes Of War here over 5f (maiden plate) when beaten 11l three weeks ago; winless with run of consecutive defeats standing at eight and largely not been running well; probably unlikely to trouble the principals.

J: G Lerena

Lightly raced with this just her third appearance; no real encouragement to be gleaned after finishing sixth at Vaal over 1m (maiden plate) in September; returns from a layoff; considered as market vibes last time suggest she is capable of better and her pedigree offers room to progress.

Verdict

Magic Declaration is expected to take a forward step but MEGA AWESOME gets a firm vote. Sword Of Light is capable of running well, and this draw will not make life easy for Magic Declaration and Cover.
