Verdict

MAGIC SHANNON (11) is very close to a breakthrough win and while beaten favourite at Port Macquarie last time she stayed on well and there's less depth here. Good chance. KUSHOMA (1) steps up in trip now after three runs back at 5f and worked home well last time out. Capable of showing up. ZOONA THAN LATER (4) is a 31 start maiden but is racing well of late and if he doesn't win he'll be around the money again. CRASHMYPLAZA (5) and REBEL ONE (2) are among the each-way chances.
