    Verdict

    Roca Magica won a classified event over track and trip a week ago when beating GRANDEE DAISY but had fallen victim to the latter in a handicap here before that. Mick Appleby’s filly can come out best once again on more favourable terms having also beaten Cristal Pallas Cat and Sharp Operator on her penultimate start. Loose Chippings has only won a maiden in 29 starts so far while Crazy Spin is best on the Fibresand at Southwell and Pearl Spectre is preferred.
