4/1

C&D winner. 3 wins from 11 runs this year. 6/1, creditable third of 8 in handicap at Brighton (5.3f, good) 12 days ago. Going through good spell recently and rates as a player, though wide draw may make getting early lead tougher.

Forecasts

Suanni (16/5), Mick's Spirit (10/3), The Defiant (4/1), Red Walls (8/1), Wings Of A Dove (9/1), Saaheq (10/1), Howzak (16/1), Anniversary Belle (18/1), King Of Speed (20/1), Khurumbi (22/1)

MICK'S SPIRIT has a fine C&D record and is fancied to continue a string of good efforts. Wings of A Dove won over C&D in June and should be able to quickly get back on track, with The Defiant also considered if able to get across from his wide draw.
