EXCESS MAGIC (11) went forward over 6f at this track (Dirt) last time and held on for second. Has the gate speed to cross from out wide. Rafael Bejarano has been in the money at the last three rides. Well placed and should be in the finish. CIRCLE BACK JACK (12) made progress last time out, finishing 6 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 6f at this track after being prominent at the turn. Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is capable of testing his rivals. MONEY RUN (10) ran below expectations last time at this track (Dirt), finishing eighth and beaten 9 lengths starting at 5/1. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he deserves another chance. PRESSURE (2) was in contention on the bend and finished second last start over 6f at this track (Dirt), beaten 0.1 lengths. Has a solid record at this course and distance, including two wins. Meeting a tougher field but on his best form he is one of the key runners.
