DOWNTOWN ORLANDO (5) finished fifth at his most recent outing, beaten 8 metres, in a nice return to form at Ascot Park Raceway over 2700m. Hard to beat in this company. SPIRITINTHESKY (1) continued her impressive run of recent efforts last start when runner-up over 2700m at Ascot Park Raceway, beaten 10 metres. No excuses from this advantageous draw. A win is not out of the question. BILL BOOTIT (6) has to come into calculations on the back of some strong recent form, most recently when third at this track over 2400m. Must be included. OUR SUPERFUND (7) is in the mix following a respectable third at his most recent appearance over 2700m at Ascot Park Raceway. Each way value.
