PAW XHANI (3) boasts a consistent overall record including four wins from 16 starts, the latest hitting the minor money when second (29.89) over 515m at Sandown. Rates highly here and will go close. PYRENEES ACE (1) started big odds in tougher last time when finishing 4th over 410m at this track. Scored at this track in weaker company the previous run. Has the ability to give this a shake. ZAP DEVERE (4) last appeared when too good (30.22) over 515m at Sandown on June 18. Resumes after finishing fourth (30.22) at Sandown over 515m 12 weeks ago. Has the ability and rates a key chance this line-up. ON THE RIVER (8) is worth consideration.

Was out of the placings last time but the start prior was just edged out when third (22.23) over 390m at Shepparton. Has to overcome a wide draw but is worth plenty of thought.
