Kerry Lee can boast a 20% strike-rate (2/10) with her charges in recent weeks and her representative here KRIS SPIN can improve on that by taking this competitive looking 3m2f handicap hurdle. The selection was a winner over this trip last time and can get the better of top weight Donna's Diamond who should find this company more to his liking following his foray into Grade 1 company last time. The forecast heavy ground should suit the mare Lastbutnotleast and she can finish third on her handicap debut.
