KING OF LIGHT (2) resumes from a lay-off of three months that came after he recorded two straight wins to close last campaign. Recent trials will have him quite forward for this. Winning jockey from last prep stays aboard. Top chance. TALKANCO (1) scored by a nose over 5f at this track last start when when resuming from a lay-off. Has never missed the frame at this course, including four wins and two placings. Likely to feature. ZOURUN RUN (13) has not appeared since she scored over 7f at Belmont Park on August 6. Is building an excellent record with two wins from three starts. Key player. MARDUSA (4) knuckled down strongly to get within half a length of the winner in third last start over 6f at this track when fresh from a lay-off. Clint Johnston-Porter who has scored on him two times retains the mount. Among the top-three hopes.
