RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: SPIRITED LASS (9) has galloped or missed the start in a significant number of her races, but some of her performances have been outstanding, storming home from well back in the field. She clearly possesses a brilliant turn of foot and can be dazzling when saved for one run. She needs to trot throughout, but has done most things right at her past two starts and appears to be heading in the right direction. Drawn to her inside is the in-form MISTA WALKER (8), who is full of confidence after winning three of his past four starts. He will need to overcome a tricky barrier. STEADY DREAM (2) should have enough gate speed to find the front and will gain a head start on her main rivals. If she trots throughout, she will be very competitive. SHAQ THE ANVIL (7) has been racing well in runs where he has maintained his gait and will be a chance with some luck in running. Also respecting SIOUX WARROR (4) here.  BACK: SPIRITED LASS (9) – 1 unit (win)
