SECESSION (1) had been rock-solid with two placings in a row before finishing fourth over 6f at Hawthorne last start. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Expecting a bold showing. MR CHIVAS (2) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when he settled well back over 1m1/4f at this track, beaten 11 lengths into sixth. Ideally placed and is sure to give this a mighty shake. SMART JOKER (4) bounced back last start and landed the prize by 3.5 lengths after being in the firing line on the corner as favourite over 6f at this track (Dirt). No reason he cannot salute again. HER NAME WAS LOLA (7) lines up for the first time since June 21. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 5½f at this track. Yet to win when resuming but generally runs well with two minor placings from three tries. Has found a suitable race and is worth including.
