Fun Sponge should lead at a keen tempo. FUN SPONGE (3) resumes for the Currie barn with Noel Callow a key jockey engagement. Brings strong form and owns a trial win. He's won 2/3 fresh and is 3/3 this course and should prove hard to beat. VONZITHER (10) resumed here this grade and made nice inroads placing second. She has more to give and has early speed. Fitter and is a chance. SINGLE DIZIRE (6) resumes and owns a big trial win. Sharp on the fresh side and is also a chance. SPILL THE TEARS (9) resumes and also goes fresh. Good at best and can't be ruled out. SUGGESTED PLAY: Fun Sponge appeals.
