Verdict

MONTJUIC MAGIC (6) has the strongest winning profile after stringing together three straight victories, most recently beating Littlebourkestreet in a BM70 at this track. The rise to BM76 is the clear new task, but she gets weight relief, is highly effective at this venue and has already shown she can keep finding under pressure. DEVILS DELIGHT (2) is the danger with proven Open form, a strong track-and-trip record and Jarrod Todd back aboard after a solid fourth behind Genetic Freak. LITTLEBOURKESTREET (7) was dominant as favourite last start and is racing with excellent consistency. Can threaten. STRUCK GOLD (1) has been close enough at his past two and gets a more suitable setup from Saturday company, but his recent form reads more as a place case.

Verdict
Dominant when winning a BM70 at this track last start, scoring by just under four lengths as favourite from Bruno Bruno. Before that she was beaten half a length by Montjuic Magic after being sent out odds-on and racing wide, so the rematch is the obvious reference. Major threat.

Verdict
Returns from a six-week freshening in terrific form, having won three straight and beaten Littlebourkestreet by half a length in a BM70 at this track last time. She rises in grade, but drops from 59kg to 57kg and has won four of five starts at this venue. Can win again.

Verdict
Worked on fairly when fourth in a BM NT at this track last start, beaten two and a half lengths after settling prominently and being near the top of betting. His third to Rossanado over 1300m prior was also sound without being sharp late. The easier company and 1100m record are positives, while the claim helps offset the big weight. Can feature.

Verdict
Nearly pinched it in a BM NT at this track last start, beaten a head by Field Of Flutes despite jumping awkwardly and racing wide. She had earlier worked home fairly for fourth behind Wild Beau after another awkward beginning. In the mix.

Verdict
Returns from a six-week freshening after a solid fourth in Open grade at this track, beaten just over three lengths by Genetic Freak when he tracked the speed and battled on well. The previous Open run was plain, but this is easier company than that last-start Saturday assignment. Jarrod Todd back aboard adds to a strong winning case.

Verdict
Finished sixth in a BM NT at this track last start, beaten just over four lengths after settling rearward and never really getting into the race. He was also unwanted in the market when seventh behind Wild Beau the run prior after beginning slowly. Minor hope only.

Verdict
Returns from a three-month break after ending last campaign in poor form, finishing second last at this track when beaten over 12 lengths at big odds. The run prior was worse again, last behind Anson Bay after racing wide throughout. Past track form helps, but recent figures are hard to sell.
