GROUNDHOG has shown improved form this season with two runner-up finishes, including over course and distance, and looks capable of breaking his maiden off his current mark. Perfidia won here in June and should appreciate returning to 8f, while Precious Spartan is a dual course and distance winner back at a more suitable grade.
