MACHETE (1) delivered a neck second in a 1m4 1/2f handicap at this circuit earlier this month. Selected to go one better to record the fourth win of his career. POPEYE DOYLE (5) has placed third in both starts since recording a 3L success in a 1m handicap at Kempton in August. Expected to play a leading role. DESERT EMPEROR (3) looks well placed to make a big impact following a 2. 75L success over 1m2f at this venue just under four weeks ago. Bated Breath filly MAUI BREEZE (6) enters calculations stepping up markedly in distance following a 5. 75L fifth in a 7f handicap at Chelmsford twenty two days ago.
