---|---|---|---|---|
THE MIGHTY SPAR (3) won a steeple at Sale last time in and has been prepared with a tidy trial here. He's had two warmers on the flat and will be hard to beat. FREDDY THE EAGLE (6) resumed in good order at Ballarat and ran some nice races over hurdles last time in. He's in good hands and is likely to go well. DUKE OF BEDFORD (5) is also third up and won a recent trial here easily over the brushes. Has to be kept onside. INSTIGATOR (1) may need the outing but should be around the mark. SUGGESTED PLAY: The Mighty Spar to win.
