GALBANUM (10) turned in a fine effort to win by a neck at today's track and distance last start to maintain his good form of late. Meets a stronger field but he is up to the task. LITTLE GIRL BLUE (1) turned in a fine effort to win by 3 lengths at today's track and distance last start in a far better run. Needs to be at her best to beat this field but she deserves plenty of thought. A SHIN NAZARETH (2) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish second over 1400m at this track. Has been in the money at all three starts this preparation, including a win. Looks one of the prime contenders. MAGICAL FACE (4) improved sharply last time out to score by 1.3 lengths over 1400m at this track three weeks ago. Has his share of ability and could prove hard to beat again in this suitable race.
