Screen Spirit is the probable leader in the small field. NARCISSIST (1) shouldering the big weights well and due for a change of luck. Used up early from the sticky gate with a tough second over 1000m at this track. Solid top-three prospect. SCREEN SPIRIT (5) resumes for his second campaign. Got off the mark at his second race start before his form dropped off at his last two outings. Back without a trial with the blinkers coming off and the cross-over nose band going on. Keep safe. PALAIS DU RHIN (7) was easily beaten at her last run before spelling and didn't fare any better when resuming over 1175m at this track five weeks ago. Gets her chance to place in this small field. APPLE CIDER (8) six-year-old gelding who mixes form. Solid fresh at this track but poor last start at big odds. Each-way. SUGGESTED PLAY: Narcissist and Screen Spirit look set to fight it out.
