HOLD ON MAGNOLIA got her nose in front on the line when beating Mysterious Look over track and trip and there looks more to come from her. Sea Of Uncertainty, Port Paradise and Romancingthestone all finished further behind the selection but Opera Buffa looks a bigger threat having posted her best effort to date over 7f here on her recent handicap debut. Custard The Dragon may find similar improvement now handicapping for the first time and The Lillster drops in class with a 7lb claimer taking over the reins for this.
