SPIRIT MEISTER (4) is progressing well this campaign. Opened with a fourth at Mareeba two starts back then scored by 3.5 lengths as favourite last time out after being in the firing line on the bend over 6¾f at Mt Garnet. Must raise the bar but he has the talent to test this line-up. BATTLE ROYALE (7) finished seventh over 7f154yards at Morphettville at his most recent appearance on December 30. Has switched to the F W Wieland stable. Capable of playing a major role. NEVER CRY (3) finished 1.5 lengths away in second last time out at this track. On a eight-day back-up. Strong run last time and is among the winning hopes. CROWNING MOMENT (8) has been in the market at his last couple of starts but hasn't made an impression, last start finishing fifth over 5f at this track. Top-three prospects.
