Emeralds Spirit has claims back on a slow surface and Hits Only Jude is not easily dismissed off his current mark. However, PIPER'S SONG has been in fine form both over hurdles and on the Flat this year and he gets the vote. Today's going is a bit of a worry, but Linda Perratt's charge won at Hamilton last month and can follow up off only a 3lb higher mark. Goneinodaethat has each-way claims once again back in this lesser grade, as does Schoolboy Champ.
