ROCA MAGICA has only won once so far on Turf but has a decent overall strike-rate and she ran up to her mark when second at Yarmouth 11 days ago. Ed Dunlop’s mare is preferred to the returning Morrooj and Moonlighting receiving weight from both. Foxy Femme also lacks a recent run while Poet's Eye is making her handicap debut and having a first try on Turf.
