AYE AYE CAPTAIN N (2) had tasted recent success then was again in sparkling form last start when he scored by 0.9 metres over 1609m at this track. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Meeting a deeper field this time but he good enough to play a major role. ALL CLASS (6) ran fourth last start at this track over 1609m, beaten 12 metres. Expected to run well. HEZA CHARTTOPPER A (4) has a strong record here which is significant. Finished sixth over 1609m at this track last time out. HOWLENTHEHILLS (5) is worth some thought despite his last-start seventh over 1609m at this track on August 18. Something for the Multiples: VERDUN (3)
