VALID DEFENCE (1) Improved when 4th last start here and goes down in class. Has drawn to do little work. Returning to a rise in trip. Suitably placed in this race. NO MAGIC (2) Closed off nicely when 5th last run around here and will appreciate the drop in class. Shavon Belle rates highly and facing a rise in trip. Possesses good closing speed. Can go on with it. BENNIGAN (7) Competitive effort when 2nd last start at this track and has been racing in stronger company. Should jump out and bowl along. Going up in distance. Has the ability to figure. BUTTONSARENOTTOYS (3) On a quick turnaround. Struggled with the pace when 6th last run at this venue. Looking for an improved run and taking on a lower class of opponents. Contender.
