OCTONION (1) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 6 lengths when fifth over 1400m at this track a week-and-a-half ago. Nicely placed to take this out. NANDE FESTIVE (9) met with solid support last time out but could only manage to finish seventh over 1400m at this track in a disappointing performance. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. SURPRISE ONE ONE (5) finished second at this track two runs back but was less effective last time over 1400m at this track, finishing 13 lengths back in seventh. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. GRUSS GOTT (10) is experiencing a long win drought, extended last start when sixth over 1400m at this track after being handy for much of the way. Can break the run of outs.
