Without a great deal of early pace evident Spiritualistic may lead the way over All Saints. SPIRITUALISTIC (8) was disappointing over this track and distance at her second outing having run an encouraging race on debut at Nowra. She had excuses there and can bounce back strongly with a good map. ALL SAINTS (4) appreciated the rise in trip here last time out when boxing on for third and she should be afforded every chance again here. Some query on heavy ground but finds the right race otherwise. RIDGEBACK (1) is a gelding by All Too Hard on debut for the O'Rourke yard. He's won one of three trials leading in, that hit out coming on heavy ground. Can figure. TULOU (13) can be an improver second up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Spiritualistic on top.
