SPIRIT WINDS (1) Secured a close victory last time at this track and showing consistent performance in races. Can't knock the form winning 2 on the trot. Will be around the mark at odds. HELMAND (6) Fought on gamely when winning last run here and goes down in weight. Undefeated last 2 starts. Serious player. BETTER MAN (3) Finished 2nd last start around here but down in distance. Been in the placegetters each attempt this preparation. Capable of a big run. PANIX (5) Nice run when 3rd last run at the track and can find a nice position from the draw. Going well this preparation but dropping back to a shorter trip. Among the chances.

Jumped at $11.00 and finished 5th last run at the track and back to a shorter distance. Will benefit with the weight drop. Better to look elsewhere.
