SPICY LA VIDA (6) is racing well without winning, recording three minors on end, the latest hitting the ground running with a fast early sectional but finishing in the minors again when second (29.86) over 515m at Sandown. Can go on with it. RUTH'S COMMANDER (2) produced a moderate effort last time when sixth at this track over 460m behind Matilda Rose (26.79) in a Mix 6/7. Cannot be underestimated. HULK KING HAMMER (1) hit the ground running from out wide with a fast early sectional but run over late and missed the frame when a 2.5 lengths fourth (24.76) over 435m at Sale. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings four times from seven attempts. In the mix. BILLY RAY MIKADO (7) looks an each-way chance.
