Few miles on the clock with this her third race; ran no sort of race (finished sixth) despite 5-4 odds over 1m at Vaal (maiden plate) in September; returning from a layoff here; could be dangerous as it was interesting that she was well backed last time and has a pedigree which suggests there is more to come.

Four-race maiden though does have a second place to his name; not disgraced when third of six at Greyville over 6f (maiden plate) 40 days ago; looks likely to go well given there is limited recent form on offer in this race.

Verdict

Magic Declaration is expected to take a forward step but MEGA AWESOME gets a firm vote. Sword Of Light should be in the hunt, and this draw will not make life easy for Magic Declaration and Cover.
