Forecasts
Miami Magic (8/11), Wyenot (4/1), Elysian Knight (5/1), That's Nice (7/1), Thank You Ma'am (20/1)
Preference is for MIAMI MAGIC, who gave a good account when third in a Grade 1 at Sandown last time and looks to hold leading claims returned to this level. The biggest threat could come from Elysian Knight, who promises to be suited by this longer distance, while Wyenot is worth another chance back up in trip.
