Magique will have her supporters after only failing by a head at Kempton last time. She'll go close off the same mark today but AZMA is preferred. The top weight scored over track and trip at this level before beaten in a Class 3 handicap here a fortnight ago and Conrad Allen's filly can return to winning ways in this lesser company. Better was expected from Mazaaher last time but it's too soon to write him off just yet while Patently is also capable of better though he has plenty to find with the selection on collateral form.
