TAKES THREE (7) showed good early dash last time out and led for most of the way before being claimed and finishing half a length away in second over 1m at this track (Turf). Well-placed and is going to prove tough to run down. MYSTIC SPIRIT (1) has started twice, running a good second on debut then finishing fourth, beaten 2 lengths, last time over 6f at this track (Dirt). Has good early speed. Worth another chance. J DUTTON (6) is a four-start maiden who finished fifth at his most recent appearance over 6f at this track (Dirt). Looks to be in the right race to play a big role. MOTIVATING FORCE (2) finished 6 lengths from the winner in eighth at his most recent appearance over 1m at this track (Turf) after he got a long way back in the run. Solid top-three chance on his best figures.
