Elite Trooper Grey is carrying a penalty for his victory on the Flat as is Fairytale Bliss for her bumper victory here. Arakan Quest has been placed in seven of ten starts in bumpers and over timber and should be better for his recent run at Bellewstown. Winning point-to-pointer Different Spot should do better over further but SANI PASS would take some beating on her close second over the track and trip in July. She ran poorly on a return visit last month but hopefully that was just a blip.
