CRYSTAL PEARL (3) showed little early speed last start then lengthened in good style in the straight to finish third at this track over today's journey. Expected to prove tough to hold out again. HELLO STRANGER (2) broke his maiden last start over 1408m at Woodbine when resuming, scoring by a nose. Christoff Douglas was in the saddle on that occasion and retains the ride. Sure to prove tough to beat again with that win now under his belt. GUERRA (4) is back at the races for the first time since July 31. Scored over 1308m at this track to launch the last campaign. Has found a suitable race and is worth including. COPA DE PLATA (5) turned in a modest performance when seventh last time out over 1408m at Woodbine, beaten 6 lengths, after a win at Woodbine at the previous outing. Expect a better run this time.
