Verdict
Magnolia Blossom,Woodwee and Chisom look the three to concentrate on in this claimer and the vote is given to Magnolia Blossom. The selection is dropping in grade having been out classed in a handicap last time out, this is much easier and under conditions that suit she is hard to oppose. Woodwee rates the main danger on his best form but he was well beaten in a seller last time out and although the drop in trip is sure to suit he will need to improve to score. Chisom is from a shrewd yard and has shown a modicum of ability in three runs to date so he should be closely watched in the market. Of the remainder Augustus Livius is from a yard in form and could go well at a price but for thew winner we return to Magnolia Blossom.
