Verdict

INVISIBLE SPIRIT (2) showed improvement last start, finishing third over 2 7/16m at Woodville. This is the right race for him, and he is the one to beat. ENGLISH GAMBLER (3) likes to run along in front, and though well beaten last time out, his run was not too bad, and in this field, he will give them all something to peg back. GO BUTCH (5) did not fire and was pulled out of the race here nearly 3 weeks ago, but he was well found in the market. He is capable of a better performance. FABULOUS NANCY (9), a 38-start maiden who finished fourth over 2 7/16m at Woodville 12 days ago. Despite having many chances, she is well worth including in all combinations. MR FABULOUS (1) is capable of running into the first 4, and is sure to be at some decent odds.
