SPICY SPANGLE

Three weeks ago, this horse ran a very disappointing race over 1200m on the dirt, leading early but tiring badly and finishing well-beaten. Last run at Happy Valley sprint distance, he benefits from a seven-pound weight reduction this time, however the sectionals weren’t impressive. Despite having some form over this distance and being capable of tracking the leaders, it's unlikely to make an impact in this race. The barrier draw is favorable, showing some improvement but not considered a strong contender.
