A difficult yet intriguing punting puzzle with Spin A Yarn likely to be one of the market leaders after his positively-ridden win last time out but he has to cope with a more experienced field here. Little Folke has a tongue-tie applied for the first time although this trip could be a little sharp for her now and Get Smart is preferred to that one. JEFFERSON DAVIS is the overall suggestion though with his form still looking on an upward curve and any continued progress would see him go close to taking his competitive heat.
