The lone three-year-old EXCELLING SPIRIT is clearly a filly with potential and having won cosily last time out she could prove to be well treated on her handicap debut. Shore Step was disappointing last time out but things didn't go his way there so he could bounce back and he previously won back-to-back races here. Blairmayne wasn't beaten far here last time out in a stronger race so he too merits respect.
