Coup de spry (2) was a beaten favourite last start at a mile but lost no admirers, rattling home after settling at the rear.Up to 1m2 1/2f looks suitable now, but he’ll need a good ride from the low draw as a horse with no gate speed.Monte fleur (3) passed his 1m2 1/2f test with flying colours in easier grade.She drops 3.3lb and is the horse on the up in a moderate field of exposed stayers.Always a winner (1) gets toker back on who is a two-time winner on the horse.He’ll run them along but hasn’t had the cheap sectionals needed to finish off in his most recent performances.Three’s a crowd (7) is racing well, the triftecta put a good margin on fourth over a mile in hobart.Further north (10) was clearly best of the swoopers in a leader-dominated affair last time.Her winning strike rate is an obvious knock, but has a chance if the race shape allows her to get into the race.
