Verdict
Course and distance winner SPIRIT OF GONDREE (NAP) is back on a winning mark and has been running well enough lately to merit consideration in the second division of this handicap. Mount Cheiron and Zed Candy Girl have also won on this track while the three-year-olds Jessica Jo and Russian Ranger have to go on the short-list. Kubeba returns from an absence and sports blinkers for the first time.
