NEED YOU NOW (3) filled a minor placing last start at this track behind MIGHTY HERCULES (26.43) in a Grade 5. Has the early speed to give a sight. Leading chance again. MIGHTY HERCULES (7) has a fair record and proved too classy last time to win by one length at this track in a handy 26.35 beating Black In Style. Ran the fastest time on the program in his latest win. Likely to be in the finish. AMRON TOMMY (2) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing fifth (29.69) in a Grade 5 at Sale. Solid record at the distance winning two races. Can figure in the finish. WARRIOR ETHAN (1) can fill a top-three spot.

Could only manage eighth last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest when second (29.04) over 510m at Sale. Has the inside draw but needs to bounce back.

Flew the lids with a fast early split and led until late but gathered in when a 1.3 lengths third at this track over 460m in 26.43. Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card last time. Follow up.

Got back last start and could only manage fifth but before that won by 0.6 lengths at this track (26.47) beating Town Legend in a Mix 6/7 on October 9. Hard to envisage a win.

Comments

Missed the frame latest (26.98) when fourth over 460m at this track in a Grade 5. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed two times. Looks suited here and can measure up on best.
