LAYTON MAGIC (1) boasts a strong record this journey here with six wins and six minors from 18 tries. Placed last time (25.23) at this track in a Grade 4/5, finishing second and beaten 2.75 lengths. Appeals as a leading chance in this. ICEBERG AHEAD (5) produced a moderate performance last time when seventh at this track over 400m behind Happy Ethics (23.25) in a Grade 4/5. Scored at his previous run. A forward showing wouldn't surprise. MAJOR FORTE (8) was below best last time but prior to that was narrowly beaten when fifth (22.77) in a Grade 5 at this track. This looks easier and expected to improve sharply. BLUE FABIO (7) can feature with the right run.

Flew the lids with a fast early split and led until late but gathered in when a 2.75 lengths second at this track over 450m in 25.23. Racing well and can find winning form again.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (25.40) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a 5.5 lengths fifth. Yet to miss the frame from four starts from the draw, including two wins. Others rate better this time.

Won two starts back when well in the market at this track over 400m. Last start finished last on June 22 over 400m at this track behind Happy Ethics beaten 9 lengths (23.25) in a Grade 4/5. Below best last time but looks well placed here. Deserves another chance.
