Magnolia Wind

Jockey: Wesley Ho Trainer: Bernard Dunham Age/Wt: 5/8-8 F: 7-6

9/4

Comment: Useful at this level; not disgraced when sixth of 12 (dropped to 5½f) a week ago at Laurel Park in a claimer; claiming value now drops to $12.5k; warrants plenty of respect if replicating the best of her form.

Comment: Has taken a step forward the last twice; snapped losing run on Tuesday when scoring by 7l at Presque Isle Downs in a maiden claimer; although up in class she appears to be in top form so should be thereabouts.

Comment: Fair effort when beaten just under 5l over 4½f here (claimer, muddy track) on her first start for this trainer 27 days ago; just the one victory on her CV; tag has been raised to $12.5k; others appeal more given the strong opposition here.

Comment: Excellent in his prime and has been fairly consistent this year; creditable effort behind Indian Empire in an allowance optional claimer when a close-up third 12 months ago; back from an absence here; claiming value now drops to $12.5k; his best form stacks up so he is a serious player.
