ORCADIAN STORM (7) is going well and is knocking on the door, last time out finishing second over 1m at this track and only 2 lengths from the winner. Neville Stephenson has won when aboard in the past and gets the ride again. Should be hard to stop. DISCREET INVASION (1) was well in commission last start over 7½f at this track when second, beaten 4 lengths. Worth another chance. JUST ASK JOEL (3) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when he was never in contention over 7f at North Dakota Horse Park, beaten 5 lengths into fifth. Has the ability to put the recent run of form behind him. CHARMING CHARLIE (6) produced a good run two starts back to finish second but disappointed last time when out of the placings at this track over 7f after he had settled well back. Finds a nice race and can make amends.
