LUNA MAGIC was second in this off 2 lb higher last season and, having shaped better than the result on her last couple of starts on turf, she's most likely been lined up for a big run after a break. As such, she's marginally preferred to last-time-out winners Whatwouldyoukonw and Richard R H B in an open-looking contest.
