Verdict

MIGHTY MYRTLE (4) tackled much stronger races throughout his last campaign and looks to have found a suitable race on resumption. She'll carry no weight under Brookes and while she hasn't won for 600 days, she continues to show her talent. Likely to get back in the run but can storm over the top. CRAVING MAGIC (2) disappointed last start but is better than what he showed there. He should get every chance from a good draw again today and his record at this track and trip is superb. Expecting him to bounce back in a big way. ATMOSPHERIC ROCK (6) flew late last start at this track and the slight rise in trip should suit. Watch for him late in the race. BROOKLYN LIGHTS (13) won't be far away.
