Verdict

Tough race. BAMA SLAMA (5) was good fresh then ran a poor race last time in what itself has turned out to be a poor form race. Forget the run and rates highly on previous form. Drawn for every chance in the box seat and willing to give another go. XTRAMAGIC (8) has been in the minors the last couple and looks overdue. Goes very well here at home and should be in the finish. VILLE DE LUMIERE (12) is a progressive type resuming and is coming off a jump-out win. May want a fraction further but drawn to stalk and finish on hard fresh. OVER THE EDGE (4) was well held fresh but fitter again and can improve sharply. OVER THE EDGE (4) bombed the start fresh then was dragged back behind tiring horses at a crucial time. Forget the run. Fitter again and expected to improve sharply.
