Verdict

SPIRITUAL STAR came up against a better weighted rival the last time he raced in a claimer but just edges this on today's terms. India's Song should have finished closer in a seller at Hamilton last time while Thomas Sensazione also had an easier chance in a plating race at Windsor on his latest start but came up well short. Pool House has fared no better in similar contests this year but Seek The Fair Land and Dialogue are both capable of popping-up at this level on the all-weather when in the mood.
