MYSTERIOUS SPIRIT (4) was beaten just 0.3 lengths last start when second in a small field over 1m1/4f at this track (Dirt) at the first run of the campaign. Will be fitter for that run, looks likely to feature again. MOKINGS (7) showed good early pace over 1m at this track (Turf) last time and kept going to score by half a length. Nicely placed to feature in the finish. JAMAICAN ME (5) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win, with just two wins from 35 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when fourth over 6½f at this track, beaten 7 lengths. Likely contender with strong prospects. COCAL (6) has progressed nicely in his last couple of runs. Finished second at this track (Turf) two starts back then landed the prize by half a length as favourite last time out over 7½f at Evangeline Downs (Turf). Finds a suitable race and can build on that last-start success.
