Spoiler to go to the lead at a genuine tempo. HEZANUFF (3) drove hard late but just came up short when resuming over 1130m at this track last time out. Kept fresh since that outing a month ago. Just needs a bit of luck from an ordinary gate to be right in the finish. SPOILER (12) led and tried hard but was claimed near home when second-up at Inverell recently. Open to further improvement and should give backers a sight. Matthew Dunn's debutant VICE REGIS (7) wasn't beaten far in a recent Beaudesert trial and looks ready to run well with the blinkers applied. ALARMING (1) was good late on debut at Ipswich and should look to settle closer this time. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Hezanuff.
