WHITE MAGIC (2) was well supported when resuming last time out over 1200m at this track and proved too strong, scoring by 3 lengths. Has a strong record at the trip and will be a tough nut to crack again. JEUNESSE HIMARI (13) finished second two runs back at this track then improved last time out to score by a neck over 1200m at this track. Norifumi Mikamoto scored on her last time and retains the mount. Meeting a deeper field this time but she can win again. UNIVERS (1) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 2.5 lengths. Fitter this time. Hard to beat in this suitable race. MAGICIAN GIRL (8) is a handy type who resumes after a break of six months. At her last appearance she finished fifth over 1200m at this track, beaten 6 lengths. Has a perfect first-up record from two starts. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Deserves respect on best figures.
