MR RIPPLE (4) returned from a spell two weeks ago when he was beaten 12 lengths into fifth over 1609m at this track. Has never missed the frame second up. Finds an easier assignment and can find winning form. MISTER HOLDEN (9) was unwanted in betting last time but scored by 1.5 lengths over 1710m at Woodbine. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Best figures should see him run well. SKYLANDER (13) turned in a sound effort last time but found a couple better at this track (Dirt) over 1609m, beaten 1.3 lengths. That run should have him rock-hard fit now. Has a formidable record at this journey with five wins and five placings from 15 starts and is expected to be competitive. BAR FOURTEEN (6) got the prize two runs ago but couldn't follow that up last time out when sixth over 1609m at this track, beaten 13 lengths. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
