SHOOTING SPIRIT (7) knuckled down strongly to get within a long neck of the winner in second last start over 6f at Belmont Park. Will be tough to stop again. CAPRICORN MAN (1) is back at the races for the first time since July 20. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a lay-off last time in work over 5f at Belmont Park. Has ability and should be right in the finish. LONSDALEITE (4) hasn't been able to break through for an extended period, the latest effort a ninth over 5½f at this track. Tackling a more suitable race this time so he is a major player. MYSTIC JANE (6) returns from a lay-off of ten months and did win when resuming last time in work over 5½f at this track. Fitter for a tenth in a recent trial over 5f at Belmont Park. Sure to make her presence felt.
