EVEREST SKY (6) won by 1.3 lengths last start when getting around this track 295m in a lightning 16.73. Is a very exciting sprinter. Has the ability and looks like winning again.

Has a strong winning record off this same draw including eight wins. Must include in calculations.

Has been racing extremely well, putting three wins back-to-back. Last start won by 2.75 lengths at this track (16.73) beating Lady Daisy in a Class 5 H on October 30. The last win was in one of the quickest times on the card. Expected to be in the finish.

Last start finished fourth over 295m at this track, beaten 9 lengths (17.15) behind Jerry Cola in a Class 5 H on October 30. Doesn't look smart enough to threaten the top few.

Comments

Form has been solid with minor placings at his last three starts. Last time out finished 2nd on October 30 over 295m at this track behind Jerry Cola beaten 6 lengths (16.92) in a Class 5 H. Overdue a win and gets his chance to break through.

Finished in the minors last time in a Class 5 H at this track when a 0.8 lengths third but did run a hot 17.01 for the 295m trip. Faces a tough assignment this time.
