SARGENT BILKO (4) changes rider since being well held last time in sixth over 1408m at Listed level at Ellis Park (Dirt) on August 9. Expected to bounce back. TITLE WORTHY (1) wasted no time getting off the mark on debut over 1408m at Ellis Park (Dirt) six weeks ago. Promising type who can measure up again. NEVER A DOUBT (3) was a winner at Gulfstream Park over this distance two back then tackled a longer trip last time but failed to measure up when fifth at Listed level at Ellis Park (Dirt). Can bounce back. ISSACHAR (6) is having his second run back from a break after he failed to threaten first up over 1106m in Listed grade at Ellis Park Turf (Turf), beaten 13 lengths. Nice class drop this time. Don't underestimate.

Returns from a 41-day let-up. Most recently 8th of 11 in stakes class at Ellis Park Turf at Ellis Park Turf on August 1 over 1106m, 12 len behind Fanshell Beach with 53.5kg at $65.28. The run before that raced right near the speed and boxed on; scored a big 3.5 len win at this track on June 24 over 1106m defeating Silverback carrying 54kg at $65.20. Can do a lot better than that last run.
