SELECTIONS: STORMS COLLIDE (6), CAPTAIN PERFECT (5), IDEAL BANDIT (1), MAJOR CRUNCH (2)
OVERVIEW: CAPTAIN PERFECT (5) and STORMS COLLIDE (6) stage a return clash after their meeting on August 16 resulted in a victory to STORMS COLLIDE (6). The barrier draw is reversed this evening and CAPTAIN PERFECT (5) was game in defeat in their last showdown so he could turn the tables. IDEAL BANDIT (1) faces his toughest test but he has been very impressive at his three victories to date so he is capable of taking the next step forward. MAJOR CRUNCH (2) is a fast beginner and chased hard when second behind the in-form pacer Ruff Nut last outing so he is not without a chance.
EARLY SPEED: 2 (likely early leader), 1,5,6,7
