VIRTUOUS CIRCLE (3) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing fourth at this track over 1m4 3/4f. Placed to advantage so expect a better run this time. BOLD SOUL (4) has progressed nicely in his last couple of runs. Finished second at this track two starts back then scored by half a length as public elect last time out over 1m4 3/4f at this track. Finds a suitable race and can build on that last-start success. GOLDENSTATEWARRIOR (8) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid third at this track over 1m4 3/4f after being in contention all the way. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. DIWALI (5) proved too strong two runs ago at Sandown-Lakeside. Couldn't follow that up last time out when eighth over 1m4 3/4f at this track, beaten 6 lengths. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time.
