Spills should lead at a keen tempo. PRESTIGE GUNDY (4) progressed nicely last time out at the second run of the campaign when he made late ground to finish less than a length away from the winner at Ipswich. At his top now and can find winning ways. VIXENETTE (6) lifted strongly but just failed to pick up the winner last start over 1200m at Murwillumbah. Peaking third-up and can go one better. HERALD ANGEL (8) drifted well back when resuming last start before winding up strongly to just miss when second over 1010m at Murwillumbah. Strips fitter and will appreciate the added trip. NAILS AND PRIDE (1) turned in a much better effort last time out to score at Gatton. Deserves more respect this time. SUGGESTED PLAY: Prestige Gundy to win.
