Plenty with claims in an open-looking sprint. Percy's Gal has recorded both wins so far over track and trip and Pull The Plug drops back down in class. As Good As Gold takes on older sprinters after a second at Pontefract while Secret Spirit is another three-year-old facing a tougher task. Maureb's wins have both been over 7f, including here last month, and Bondi Beach Babe is proving best over 5f. But SPIRAEA won three times over today's distance last year and, now only 2lb higher than her latest success at Salisbury in August, Mark Rimell's mare gets the speculative vote.
