SAFE HOME has done incredibly well for his yard to get back into winning form over the summer and has appreciated joining his current yard. Despite a hike in the weights he goes well fresh and should prove tough to beat off his current mark. Wot A Shot took this race last year but failed to go on since, despite his advancing years it is eye-catching he is nearly at his last winning mark and eased in class. The likes of the consistent Haasab and Titus Bolt also merit consideration subject to if they haven't been too harshly treated by the handicapper.
