Verdict

IN VEGAS (3) has produced a pair of big runs for second in her last couple of starts, and with any sort of luck, she could have won either of them. An extra 1f here will suit her, and she can get the job done this time. STOLEN MAGIC (2) is a very good mare on her day, and she could be in for her best year yet after winning fresh up off a short spell at Ascot Park 16 days ago over a mile. Her margin that day was nearly 10 lengths, and she is even better over a longer trip, which she gets here. Go again. MAMAEA (9) had a very tough trip here 3 weeks ago and understandably dropped out in the run home to finish last. She races best when in front, and with a positive ride early on, she can bounce straight back into the money here. CAPO DELL IMPERO (1) failed to fire at Riccarton last time out when nearly a month between runs. He will be spot on for this and can make amends. Each way value. COMPLICATE (5) has been below her best since winning here in the spring. One more chance at odds.
