MARAUDING HORDE (2) turned in a fine effort to score by 2 lengths at today's course and distance last start in a much improved run. Looks well placed so expect another big run. BATTLEGROUND (6) finished eighth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 2400m at this track, beaten 2.5 lengths. Likely improver with strong prospects. RAISEAHALLELUJAH (5) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 2400m at this track, beaten 5.5 lengths. Second up record is very strong. Strips fitter and can feature. THUNEE PLAYA (3) improved sharply last time out to score by a neck over 1800m at this track six weeks ago. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat again in this suitable race.
