HELLENIC SPIRIT (7) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 0.8 lengths when fourth over 1308m at this track five-and-a-half weeks ago after being prominent at the turn. Has the talent to produce a better result. SAICHI'S GIRL (2) turned in a sound effort last time but found one better at this track (Dirt) over 1308m, beaten one length. J D Acosta has registered two minor placings when on board. Sure to run well. AMAMA (8) turned in an eye catching run last time when kept coming to finish second at this track (Dirt). Suited at the longer journey and gets chance to show best. MISTY ISLE (9) is a five-start maiden who returned last time and finished fifth at this track (Dirt) over 1408m, beaten 16 lengths. Bold showing expected with added fitness this time.
