UTOPIAN SPIRIT (14) is a 13-start maiden who could only manage to finish fourth at his latest appearance over 7f at Tamworth. Rates highly in this field and can turn things around. CUNNING KITTY (6) is yet to break through in 17 runs. Finished sixth at her last appearance over 1m at Gosford on February 1 after she gave away a big start. This looks a nice race so expect her to be right in the finish. DEIFIC (7) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 7 lengths when sixth in a 1m contest at Newcastle two weeks ago. Meets some better types this time but this looks well within his grasp. PRINCE CARLOS (12) failed to figure again last time over 7f at Tamworth, beaten 3.5 lengths into fifth. Georgina Mc Donnell goes well on this five-year-old and is back on top. Can play a role in the finish.
