Top weight DREAM MACHINE has been running well since winning on his seasonal debut back in May and having finished runner-up off this mark last time out he can go one better in this competitive contest. The selection is taken to see off Roger Varian's Oden who is lightly raced and making his handicap debut following a good third last time out while bottom weight Broughtons Story can put a disappointing effort last time out behind him by claiming third here.
