PEARCES MAGIC (5) was well backed last start but ran below expectations when fourth (17.19), beaten 4 lengths. Was in the money the start prior. Still to record a win from this draw but has never missed the frame in two starts. Can bounce back. KING BENSON (2) has been mixing form lately, hitting the frame two back before finishing sixth (30.25) at this track in an A3. Well placed here and can atone this time. HARLEQUIN SWIFT (4) was below best at her last couple, the latest finishing fifth at this track, but was among the placings at this track three back. Has the ability and expected to do much better. FERNDALE FREE (3) is a last-start placegetter worth considering.
