HIGHLY SPRUNG produced his best effort of the season when runner-up in a class 3 over C&D off this mark 10 days ago and is taken to record his seventh C&D success. Zumurud wasn't far behind the selection that day and should be in the mix again, while Dream Together and Obee Jo both arrive in decent form.
