SOFI'S SPIRIT (NAP) completed a four-timer on Polytrack in the UK in December 2012 but they were her only victories. She's been dropping to a mark she's capable of winning from and her two latest runs on the track suggest this should be her day. She had Tsar Paul and Shinyhappyjohn behind when runner-up to Tom Dooley a fortnight ago and should take care of that pair again while Sweetie Jar may not be quite sharp enough having had a break since her two placed efforts here in the autumn. Little Cupcake has never been placed on the all-weather though she did run on over the minimum trip last month where she had Times In Anatefka just behind.
