RISING SPHERE (3) has bounced back into winning form this season and made it 2 wins on the bounce when scoring here 5 weeks ago by over 2 lengths. He has a terrific record on this track over the trip and with Jarrod Todd back in the saddle, he can complete the hat-trick. EARLY CROW (1) is a very progressive gelding who has been given a 9-week freshen-up since going back-to-back at the start of this season. A 2kg claim will help bring his top weight down to a more manageable impost and he is good enough to take this out. MR HAVE A CHAT (8) has followed up his most recent win at the end of July with a brace of second place finishes and he only needs the right run to be a bit threat in this. Stick with him. TUBTHUMPER (7) is resuming from a spell and normally comes to hand quickly. She benefits from a 2kg claim and with the advantage of the pole position, she can make her presence felt. Each-way.
