In depth
Verdict
The speedy Starling clung on for a second career success at Will Rogers Downs at the start of the month and he is the likely pace-setter here. But SPOTITUDE has met trouble in-running a couple of times since scoring over the track and trip in February, ahead of subsequent winner Nattytyme, and will have no excuses from stall two. Texas Troubador has placed twice this year and has his sights lowered in an attempt to open his account this campaign so is much respected but the returning Songster is likely to need this.
