STAR MAGIC (6) drew a wide gate last start and was easily accounted for, beaten 35 metres into eighth at Ashburton Raceway over 2400m. Meets a similar quality field and is good enough to put himself in the winners' stall. SPIRITED LOU (5) has had four runs this prep and is yet to finish in the top three. Added to the sequence last time over 2400m at Ashburton Raceway, finishing 6 metres away from the winner in fourth. This doesn't look as hard so he is in the right race to find the winners' list. STORMY VISTA (2) is worth another chance after a last-start 11th over 2400m at Ashburton Raceway a week ago. APATCHOFGOLD (3) is worth some thought after her last-start fourth over 2400m at Ashburton Raceway on June 1.
