The step up in distance should suit TINGO IN THE TALE and he's now operating from a career low mark so if there's ever a day he'll get involved, it could be here. Cape Spirit is still a maiden but he's shown he can be effective around here and there's signs he may break his duck. Jane Elliot has been in flying form of late and she may be able to exploit any weakness in her rivals aboard Mighty Missile, who is likely to be seen to better effective over a longer trip but may be able to run into a place. 1.
