EARTHSTORM (3) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win, with only one victory from 15 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when fifth over 7f at this track, beaten 3. 5 lengths. Has the class to take this out. MAGNA'S CHOICE (11) hasn't been far away lately, last time finishing third over 1m1f at this track, and gets some weight relief. Blinkers added so the stable might have him peaking. REGAL STATUE (9) is yet to fill a placing in two runs since resuming from a lay-off, the latest when fourth over 6f at this track after she travelled towards the rear of the field. First try at the trip but she strips fitter and looks the main danger. CLIMB ON TOP (4) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 7f at this track, beaten 4 lengths into 15th. Suitably placed so can turn things around.
