In depth

Verdict

IRISH GIRLS SPIRIT never figured in better company here on her latest outing but had earlier recorded a close-up fourth over track and trip. She finished ahead of Fol Hollow, Kyzer Chief and Pavers Star on that occasion and it could be her turn today. Compton Heights found only one too good over 6f at Hamilton earlier in the month and looks the main danger as the remainder have shown little to recommend them of late.
