FORMIDABLE MAN (4) Got the prize when winning last run at the track and gets some weight taken off. Ultra competitive this preparation with 3 wins from as many starts. Winning chance in what appears a suitable race. DORMAMMU (6) Ran well when 2nd last start here. Can make a claim. O'GALANTUOM (3) Nice run when 3rd last time at this venue and back over more ground. Been in the money 2 from 2 attempts this campaign. Solid place bet prospects. STRARIPANTE (5) Ran 2nd last run at this venue and coming back up in distance. Might be one for the placings.
