CLOUD NUMBER NINE (8) finds it hard to win with just one success from 14 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when sixth over 1207m at Ellis Park, beaten 7 lengths. Has the class to feature in the finish. TATE BATZ (1) changes rider since being well held last time in eighth over 1106m at Del Mar (Dirt) on July 31. Better than the last run suggests. VAEDRA (5) finished in the placings when a 0.8 lengths second on dirt at Belterra Park two back but then disappointed on turf last time at Belterra Park Turf over 1006m when fourth, finishing 2.5 lengths from the winner. Worth following up back on dirt. PIRULITA (2) has been freshened up since she finished sixth over 1207m at Lone Star Park (Dirt) eight weeks ago. Expecting to see her turn things around.
