MAGICAL WARRIOR (1) finished ninth over 5f at Gulfstream Park (Synthetic) at his most recent appearance on August 18. Rates highly and should take some beating. VOLKERT (4) started at 17/2 last time and ran below expectations, finishing fifth and beaten 4 lengths at this track (Dirt) over 6f after being in contention on the turn. Nicely placed to make amends. NICHIREN (6) hasn't been able to break through for an extended period, the latest effort a fifth over 5½f at this track (Dirt) after being prominent at the bend. Beautifully placed and is sure to play a major role. ASTRONAUT OSCAR (3) has not won for a long while. Last raced on January 8 when beaten 5.5 lengths into fourth at this track (Dirt) over 6f. Placed to advantage and can run a better race.
