CAPTAIN EDDIE (2) reunites with Edgar Perez after scoring with ease over 1106m at this track (Synthetic) last time. Is going well this campaign, recording two wins from four starts. Bold showing expected. MAITRE D (1) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by a nose over 1006m at this track (Synthetic) as favourite. That continued the solid form this campaign, with five wins and three minor placings from 11 outings. Leading player again. JAVA BUZZ (8) was in the firing line on the bend and finished second last start over 1106m at this track (Synthetic), beaten 2.25 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run again. READIER (5) gave a great sight last time over 1006m at this track when he raced up on the pace and fought on gamely only to be narrowly beaten. Good record at this journey with four wins and six minor placings from 14 starts and is among the main hopes.

Second run from a spell raced on speed throughout when 2nd of 8 at this track on July 18 over 1106m, 2.25 len behind Captain Eddie with 51.5kg at $22.90. Fitter now and making headway.
