ST ALBANS RAID (7) has returned in good shape this preparation. Opened with a second at Lone Star Park (Dirt) two starts back then scored by 9 lengths as public elect last time out over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Well placed and there is no reason she cannot score again. SABRES (3) is back from a spell after closing last campaign with a couple of wins, the latest over 1609m at Fair Meadows on July 10. Has a formidable record at this journey with two wins and two placings from five starts and is among the leading chances. LOTTERY TICKET (4) built on a nice third two starts back at this track (Dirt) with success over 1106m at this track (Dirt) two weeks ago, getting home by 0.3 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. CUECA (10) resumed last start over 1106m at this track (Dirt) and showed little early speed, settling well back but hitting the line hard to finish third, beaten 0.8 lengths. Form at this track is solid. Solid claims on best form.
