Carrie's Magic has proved better over shorter trips so far, but Hellbender and Coax have the past form over today's distance that gives them a chance. However, CATALLOUT arrives in better form having finished second on her last two starts and it is she who gets the vote to go one better. Goninodaethat has shown a bit more of late and has room for further improvement, while Cannon Bolt goes well at this track and better is expected from him. A C&D winner last year, Chookie Avon has now dropped back to a winning mark if he can rediscover his best.
