OVERVIEW: SPIRITED GIGI (3) is a gelding who has always shown promise. Last start, he finished third in the Vicbred Super Series 3yo Bronze Trot after looping the field impressively late. He gets his chance to return to the winners’ circle here. HAMMER (8) is a talented trotter who placed in a Breeders Crown heat last year. His connections had a big opinion of him before his debut. He has been lightly raced but clearly has ability. We will learn more about where he is at in this run, but fitness will be a query. ALDEBARAN MISTIQUE (6) has the best sectional times in this event. She was a good second behind No Money No Honey last start. She has a good turn of foot, but this barrier is challenging. KYVALLEY REEVA (10) is in great form, having won her last two starts impressively. This looks harder, though, and she has a wide back-row barrier, so she won’t find the front. Also respecting lightly raced CLASSIC FAIR (2) here. BACK: SPIRITED GIGI (3) – 2 units (win)
