The temptation to have one more roll of the dice has proved irresistible to the connections of promising Classic Unicorn, and they can be rewarded with a second successive win over five furlongs (9.05).

Hit with an 11lb hike in the ratings, the three-year-old could still be ahead of the handicapper and trainer Chris So is set to land another nice prize before the season ends next week.

The son of Per Incanto could not have been more impressive in his debut win over course and distance last month. He must handle a rise in grade but has been drawn attractively on the stand rail and has plenty going for him.

Derek Leung has come in for the ride as Zac Purton, who now partners main danger Seven Heavens, cannot make the weight.

The gripping trainers' title battle intensifies as John Moore saddles the Purton-ridden Magic Success, who could provide him a valuable victory in the 7f handicap (8.35).

Magic Success has won and been placed in his three runs for Moore since moving from rival David Hall. The trip should prove no issue and can make full use of his inside draw, with Purton sure to have him up to speed all the way.

The splendid Golden Sixty has been rising through the ranks after three successive wins, and looks poised to extend the sequence in the 7f handicap (10.45).

The three-year-old has been finishing strongly and the step up in distance is likely to suit.

Golden Sixty will be ridden by Vincent Ho, who will soon be heading over to Britain to rejoin Mark Johnston for the summer.
