VACATION CHUCK (5) returned from a spell two weeks ago when he was beaten 3 lengths into fifth over 1600m at this track. Fitter so anticipating a better run this time. RIO CLARO (4) finished third, beaten 4 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 2200m at Palermo. Likely improver with bright prospects. BARBA ROJA (1) is a three-start maiden who finished seventh at his most recent appearance over 1600m at this track. Finds the right race and is worth consideration. DON NINTENDO (3) turned in a moderate debut over 1400m at this track on August 29 when he was safely held in seventh, 11 lengths from the winner. Will take a lot from that experience. Don't underestimate.
