Verdict

MAGNA'S CHOICE (9) ran third here two starts ago before stepping up to win by over a length as favourite over 7 ½f at this track last time out nearly 3 weeks ago. William Pike was aboard for that win and stays on. Well placed to repeat the dose. ARCADIA PARK (2) completed a hat-trick of wins to end his 3-year-old season, and resumes over a mile with 2 solid trials under his belt. Hard to beat. ARCADIA KNIGHT (1) is a very handy gelding who is resuming from a spell that would have done him the world of good. He has had a couple of tune-up trials and can give this a shake. OUR PALADIN AL (4) scored last start over 7f at this track and has an impressive record at the trip with 2 wins from 3 starts. Teams up again with Steven Parnham, who's won twice from 5 rides on him. Stick with him. FLY WITH CAUTION (3) resumed three-and-a-half weeks ago, looming up on the turn before finishing a sound sixth over 7f here. He improves quickly with racing and with the blinkers on. He can win.
