Hamilton Park Race 2 - John & Margaret Mccluskey Memorial Celebrations Ebf Mdn Stakes (Gbb Race)
HELL OF A SPIN (2) ran well a fortnight ago on the all-weather at Newcastle when only being denied by 0.5L contesting a 1000m event. Should handle switching to the turf and cannot be taken lightly on this second start. CASINO STAR (1) was not disgraced here in June and now drops in trip after finishing well held at York two weeks later. Worth giving another chance as it is still early days. CALEF (6) looks to be building towards a win but might find nurseries easier in the future. MY MATE FITZ (3) had been gelded prior to making his debut here. Will need to improve after disappointing when fourth. Market check advised.
