THE VITAL SPARK hasn't stood much racing but did win over this trip following a break on penultimate start and he can repeat the feat here following a breathing operation. Torfrida posted a solid effort when runner-up over C&D on reappearance and would be a danger if bouncing back to that sort of form, while Dandy Fitz is better than he was able to show last time and could be worth another chance.
