DRACO'S FIRE (4) started at 3/1 last time and ran below expectations, finishing fifth and beaten 0.9 lengths at this track over 1m after being in contention on the bend. Hard to beat in this suitable race. CREEK (3) was too good for a maiden field when resuming last start over 6¼f at this track, scoring by 1.2 lengths. Re-unites with Jean Van Overmeire who was on board last start. Looms as one of the hardest to beat again. ROCK HARD LOVE (1) ran fourth at his latest appearance over 6¼f at this track, finishing 2 lengths from the winner. This sets up nicely. ROLLING MAGIC (5) accounted for a maiden field over 7f at this track last start, finishing 2 lengths ahead of the nearest rival. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Harder task ahead this time but can measure up.
