LION IN THE SUN (7) ran below expectations last time at Parx (Dirt), finishing seventh and beaten 19 lengths starting at 3/1. Perfectly placed and is sure to be there at the finish. HAPPY OFFERING (5) returns from a layoff of ten weeks. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a lay-off last time in work over 1m at Monmouth Park. Rates highly and should take some beating. ST PETE'S PASSION (2) lines up for the first time since July 24. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1m at Parx. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race. HARD PERFORMER (1) finished seventh two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1m1/4f at Parx, beaten 4 lengths. Looks to be in the right race so expect another big run.
