Verdict
INFINITE MAGIC had the re-opposing Slip Of The Tongue five lengths behind when runner-up over C&D on his debut. Jeremy Noseda's colt can open his account here with normal progress. Carina Palace showed no real improvement on her latest start despite finishing a couple of places closer in third and the likes of Butterfly Dream and Wrecking Ball may finish ahead of her in this. Lilac Tree is worth noting on his debut as is Blackball, a half-brother to four winners in America.
