HIGH FORT posted a better effort when third over track and trip on his handicap debut. That was his first outing since July and he may well reverse running with second-placed Rebel State. The latter also finished in front of Silk Mill Blue and Deeds Not Words on that occasion while The Retriever was ahead of Lord Rob when placed over 7f here earlier in the month. Santana Slew has her second start after wind surgery and it would be no surprise to see improvement from her now handicapping.
