CARLITOS SPIRIT doesn't win often theses days but goes well here, is slipping down the weights and will handle any cut. He's the speculative selection ahead of Hayek, who is holding his form without winning and tries a longer trip here. Island Chief showed a bit more at Carlisle last time, while Edas has the past form to figure and so does Hill Tribe, though soft ground could be a problem for the latter. Kheskianto has been running well at this track on a faster surface recently.
