EMPIRE MAGIC (1) ran well on debut last start to finish third over 6½f at this track (Dirt) in a tougher race. Will benefit from that experience so a big run is anticipated. HAPPY'S SMILE (5) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when second over 1m at this track (Dirt) after being prominent from the outset. Finds a suitable race and can make it to the winner's circle. SANTAGATA (6) never really threatened on debut, finishing midfield and beaten 13 lengths over 6f at this track (Dirt). Better for the experience and can turn things around. HARMONYVILLE (4) ended up 10 lengths behind the winner in tenth on debut last start over 5½f at Saratoga (Turf). Plenty of scope for improvement. Must be respected.
