Verdict
None of this bunch inspire much confidence and only a token vote goes the way of INDOMITABLE SPIRIT. He landed a double on the Polytrack during the summer and can race off a similar mark on his Fibresand debut. Excelling Oscar, Risk 'n' Reward and It's All A Game are all course and distance winners with the latter arriving in the best form while Thunderbird has gone close over track and trip before, though finished last here on his latest start. Little Choosey and Marmooz also handle the surface.
