Verdict
Magical Fantasy gets the confident vote in division two of this maiden with Shaftesbury and Unlicensed rating the main dangers. The selection was a good second behind Mystery Star last time out, he has a bhb rating of 77 that form looks solid and he is given one last chance to break his maiden tag. Shaftesbury rates the main danger as he has ran with promise in two runs to date and this looks his easiest task but he will be handicapped after this run and that is where his future may lie. Unlicensed is another worthy of respect on his latest fourth behind Wasan, he looks sure to improve for this longer trip and should be watched in the market. Of the remainder Dynamo Dave is a well bred type from a shrewd yard and is another that could go well but the suspicion is he may come on for the run and with this in mind for the winner we return to Magical Fantasy who will be hard to beat.
