Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: Jason Hart| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 79

9/2

Seventeen runs since last win in 2022. Respectable fifth of 11 in handicap at this course (1m, good, 9/1) 16 days ago, better placed than most. Up in trip. One to consider.

Arkendale²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-1| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: E Bethell| OR: 78

11/2

Just the one creditable effort to his name from 4 runs this season but his mark has come down as a result and his stable is going very well in general. Blinkers worn last time are quickly discarded.

Form: 37-6350

Secret World¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: J Fanning| T: C Johnston| OR: 71

Forecasts

Secret World (3/1), Poet's Dawn (10/3), Ey Up Its The Boss (4/1), Dawn Of Liberation (9/2), Arkendale (11/2), Sandret (12/1)

POET'S DAWN is a veteran these days but he's hit form this summer and might prove the answer to a contest where most of his rivals have a point to prove at present. Dawn of Liberation is second choice.
