CRITICAL MAGIC (8) missed the placings two runs back then did well last start but found a couple better over 1106m at this track, beaten only 1.75 lengths after being prominent at the corner. Likely improver with strong prospects. ELSIE'S SMILE (9) resumes from a spell of four months. Looked close to a win before that break, finishing off with a minor placing over 1106m at Delaware Park (Dirt). Has ability and is a solid chance. R SKYLINE (5) has been in the betting at both starts but has failed to live up to market expectations. Most recently finished tenth over 1609m at this track (Turf), beaten 52 lengths. Cannot be dismissed. KIONA (6) stepped out for her debut over 1408m at Gulfstream Park (Dirt) back on November 9 and finished seventh, beaten 45 lengths. One of the contenders with the blinkers added.
