FLYING ARTIST (5) turned in a nice run when resuming at this track then wasn't too far away last time over 4¾f at this track, finishing sixth and beaten 2 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. FODOR (6) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a lay-off on August 26 finishing tenth and beaten 11 lengths over 7½f at this track. Hasn't scored when fresh from a break but generally races well with two minor placings. Expect him to play a major role. BOOMALINA (7) ran on strongly but just failed to pick up the winner as favourite last start over 5f at Home Hill. Nicely placed to go one better. LORD POWER (8) settled well back from a wide draw last time then wound up strongly to finish fifth over 4¾f at this track. Solid top-three hope.
