PLAY SMARTER
MAGNA MORALIA is proving a consistent sort and can gain a deserved first success for his current yard on the back of a good C&D second. Summergrounds appeals as a likely improver now going into handicaps stepped up in trip so rates a big threat. Course winner Misty Mani and the handily-weighted Sindabella complete the shortlist in an open handicap

KING ALEXANDER arrives on a hat-trick and promises to do better still now switched back to handicapping, so he’s preferred to Hang In There, who is well treated on chasing form. Luttrell Lad should benefit from the longer trip, so he seems likely to give another good account.

PLAY SMARTER
CASA TALL took a step back in the right direction in first-time cheekpieces at Perth last time, unable to sustain his effort, so he can build on that run to return to winning ways dropped in grade. The main danger could be dual course winner High Noon, who shaped well after 12 months off back at this C&D 18 days ago, with Dindin completing the shortlist.

PLAY SMARTER
COPPER FOX matched his hurdling form at the first attempt in this sphere when runner-up at Stratford last month and, with improvement on the cards, Donald McCain’s charge is fancied to go a place better with the headgear back on. Moore Clouds is proving expensive to follow but she can give the selection most to think about back on a sounder surface, with Honneur de Sivola rounding off the shortlist.
