PERFECT MAGIC (4) starting to prove costly but was narrowly beaten last time at this track (Dirt) and is close to a win. Rates highly here and gets chance to break through. RAISE THE BAR (6) finished fifth at his second-up appearance over 1308m at Aqueduct (Dirt) but it is worth noting he won at the only third-up run. Can bounce back to his best form. MIKEL W (1) finished sixth last time out over 1308m at this track, beaten 9 lengths. Can give this a shake. CLOVISCONNECTION (2) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1408m at this track, beaten 17 lengths into seventh. Well placed and can figure in the finish this time.
