DIVA'S DEMON (2) was far from disgraced when second last start after being in the firing line on the bend over 4½f at this track, beaten 1.75 lengths. That followed a win at this track the start prior. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. RIDE THE BRAND (3) was last at the races when he finished seventh over 6½f at this track (Dirt) on September 13. Has ability and should be right in the finish. JUST MURPHY (1) finished third last time over 4½f at this track (Dirt), beaten 4.5 lengths. Placed to advantage so expect a forward showing. SALTY STARKEY (8) broke his maiden three starts back and has not been far away since, most recently when beaten 0.1 lengths into second over 4½f at this track (Dirt). Winning rider Justin Lewis sticks. One of the better hopes.
