PHILIP WOO’S FORMLINE
Seize The Spirit caught the eye when running on well despite interference near the 500m in a third behind the smart Cinquante Cinq in his initial Valley run two back and a tactics change to attack the speed didn't pan out latest. He looks attractive in Class Five for the first time. Bonito followed up a near C&D win over Righteous Mate, who's since placed in Class Four, with an easy front-running win from a wide gate. His flexible run style is advantageous and a repeat win would not surprise carrying only three pounds more. Little Fantasy seems to have a new rider every week and has a tricky gate but has been in the mix all season long and will hope Joao Moreira can bring him some luck. Megatron returned to form with a box-seat C&D fourth behind the reopposing Bonito and wouldn't go down without a fight after chasing a hot pace in a recent third over the Valley 1,800m. Gate 12 will ensure he goes off at decent odds.
