JINTO looks capable of landing a quick double for his yard in this company. He's 5lb lower than when winning here last year and is dropping down a grade after a recent third at Salisbury. Astrolibra ran well on her reappearance at this track in July when only a length behind third-placed Outland and Miss Whippy has every chance judged on her latest second over C&D. Nutshell is another dropped in class and should be thereabouts at the finish.
