UNDER INFLUENCE (8) drops in class after finishing 8 lengths away in 13th over 5½f at Ascot a week-and-a-half ago when he was always well back. Finds the right race to bounce back to form. SPIRIT MAN (3) raced on the pace last start before fading to finish 11th, beaten 6 lengths, over 5½f at Ascot. Austin Galati who has scored on him two times retains the mount. Should be hard to stop. REACTION (5) was below his best last time, finishing seventh and beaten 4 lengths over 6f at Bunbury. Beautifully placed and is sure to be there at the finish. RUSSIAN SNIPER (7) has been in sparkling form, scoring two wins on end only to miss the frame last time over 6f43yards at Albany. Back to the scene of his victory two runs back.
