SILENT RULE (3) resumes from a lay-off of a year and comes here off the back of 10 straight wins. Rates highly and hard to knock the winning form. SUPERWOLF (8) got the job done last start by 1. 75 lengths at Belterra Park (Dirt) over 6½f. Has a very good record here including three wins from five starts. Leading contender. BOOTS MALONE (2) has scored at his last two starts, most recently by 2 lengths over 6f at this track (Dirt) as favourite. That continued the very strong form this campaign, with two wins from three outings. Expect a bold showing. WIN HERBIE WIN (9) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 6½f at Belterra Park. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run.
