RECRUITER (4) broke his maiden last start over 5½f at Hawkesbury, scoring by a nose. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Re-unites with Andrew Adkins who was on board last start. Can go right on with the job now. FLYING IMPALA (3) finished 3.5 lengths from the winner in fifth last start after being in the firing line on the bend over 7f at Canberra, an improvement on his when resuming 14th at Kembla Grange the run before. Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is right in contention. RUSSIAN ZARINA (8) turned in an eye-catching run over 5f at Hawkesbury last time, ridden back before coming home with a powerful run to finish third. Will be doing her best work late. ZIPITALIST (6) finished eighth over 6f at Rosehill at his most recent appearance on August 3. Comes here with definite top-three claims.
