Verdict
STAR MAGNOLIA confirmed the improvement of her previous start (with headgear fitted) by opening her account last time. She remains open to improvement and is ideally positioned in gate No 1 to play another leading role. IRISH WILMA led throughout when shedding her maiden tag over track and trip last time and another forward showing is expected with progress likely on her handicap debut. TIME WILL TELL and NKANDLA GOLD are capable hard-knockers with the form and experience at this level to have a say in the outcome. KOTINOS and ICONIC WINTER have earning potential too.
