Kempton maiden winner Moiety is the least exposed and Showtime Star won a maiden race at Hamilton by six lengths last time. But neither have raced on the Fibresand before so the vote goes to SPITFIRE. The latter was narrowly beaten in last year's renewal and is just preferred to Speightowns Kid, beaten only a head in a handicap over track and trip a fortnight ago. Bainne, Take The Lead and Greenhead High are others with a shout at the weights on previous course form
