Ocean Air bounced back to form when heavily supported at Hamilton and has won from a much higher mark in the past. His stable companion Blankiedoodie shot up the weights after completing a hat-trick and hasn't been able to cope but AVALANCHE gave notice of an imminent victory when runner-up to the in-form High Altitude at Killarney. Summer's Dream has yet to win but has run well in handicaps on this track in her last three starts while Hidden Spark gained her first success at Fairyhouse in July and ran well on her next start on this track. Adapt To Dan ran his best race to date at Killarney and can't go much lower in the ratings.
