HURRICANE EXPRESS (8) finished 17 lengths from the winner in sixth last start over 1m at this track, an improvement on his 12th at this track the run before. Finds a nice race and can find winning form. GROUND SHAKER (5) closed off strongly last start to get up for third, beaten a neck, over 6½f at this track when returning from a lay-off. Among the leading chances. THUBOOT (9) returned from a lay-off five weeks ago when he was in the firing line on the turn before being beaten 14 lengths into fourth over 1m at this track. Strips fitter and can take this out. DISCOMBOBULAATOR (11) is a four-year-old gelding who is still a maiden after eight starts but has been in the placings two times. Failed to threaten when 26 lengths from the winner in eighth when resuming last start over 1m at this track (Synthetic). Expected to do far better this time.
