ILEAN RIDE (5) returned to winning form last start, scoring by one length over this journey at this track. Has a solid record at this course and distance, including a win and two placings. Expected to measure up. THITON (4) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a strong race last time out, finishing third and beaten by less than a length over 1600m at this track. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. SHUMPETER (2) has not won for a long while. Last raced on August 20 when finishing sixth at this track over 2000m. Nicely placed to break the run of outs. GRAN BISMARCK (1) has not won for a long while. Last raced on August 22 when finishing close up in fourth at this track over 1600m. Best figures measure up nicely, so keep him safe.
