YOUTHFUL SPIRITS (2) improved last time out, finishing a nose from the winner in second at the end of 1000m at this track after being prominent at the bend. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. CASA OF HONOR (5) is a talented galloper with a very good strike rate who finished off last campaign with a win over 1000m at Tamworth on October 14. Will strip fitter for a subsequent trial win. Excels when fresh from a spell with three wins from three starts so he is among the leading chances. COLOURFUL KING (4) raced on the speed and lifted to score by a nose at this track and trip last start which was an improvement on the first-up run. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. ETERNAL FORTUNE (3) ran a better race last start, finishing 2.25 lengths away in fourth over 1000m at this track. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.
