STRATUS (2) had been in sparkling form winning two races on end but missed the frame most recently when sixth over 1609m at this track. Rafael Manuel Hernandez who has two wins when partnering stays on. Should be hard to stop. BRITISH ARTILLERY (3) built on a nice third two starts back at Woodbine All Weather with a win over 1509m at this track four weeks ago, getting home by 0.8 lengths. Daisuke Fukumoto scored on him last time and retains the mount. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. HEMLO GOLD (6) has switched yards since scoring by 2 lengths at Woodbine All Weather over 1710m on August 9. Sure to make his presence felt. CORNWALL (5) has two placings from three appearances this prep and last start finished 2.75 lengths from the winner in third over 1710m at Woodbine All Weather. Right in this.
