FormscanBy Tom Weekes - BIOLUMINESCENCE has a tough task to concede 10lb to Spindleberry but is suited by this distance and testing ground. Despite pulling up in a Grade 1 race last March, the selection is thoroughly dependable and ran very well when failing to concede 1lb to high-class stayer Dancing City at Naas last month. A reproduction of that run would give her every chance. Spindleberry finished second in the aforementioned top-level Fairyhouse race last March and is herself very able. She looks sure to benefit from her debut fences win at Cork in December and returns from a break, so should give the selection a real race. Judicieuse Allen might edge A Penny A Hundred for third.
