Expecting Houdini Spirit to take up the running with Pontoon Prince and Best Defence close at hand. MICRO MIKKI (4) kept fresh and now in the Brett Robb yard after making his debut with an eye catching second over 1200m at Edenhope. Since fitted with a strong Dubbo trial victory over 860m and can shed his maiden status. BLUTINS (2) Prized Icon gelding out of Soul Diva on debut for the Stummer stable. Big improver at his second trial when placing over 900m at Scone. Keep safe with the blinkers and tongue-tie on. BEST DEFENCE (1) better showing from the low draw when third over 1000m at Dubbo. Gets weight relief with the claim and comes here in peak condition. HOUDINI SPIRIT (9) returns from a 30-day let-up. Covered plenty of ground in the run and the early effort told late when a plugging seventh over 1100m at Wellington on March 28. Improvement anticipated with the senior rider on. SUGGESTED PLAY: Micro Mikki to win.
