Having won her maiden over C&D, STAR MARIAN was a bit disappointing back over 6f 4 weeks ago but returned to the minimum trip, she’s afforded another chance. Magna can boast a really good strike rate so she has to command respect, along with Rotokura Belle who will again get plenty of assistance from the saddle
