Didn't make the placings last time at Taree Super Track (17.93) in a Grade 5, finishing a 6 length fifth. Has two wins and four placings from 10 starts from the draw. Looks well placed and should feature.

At the last start finished last in a Grade 5 on January 10 over 400m at this track behind Sign Action beaten 17 lengths (23.61). Forget the latest effort. Among the chances.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage sixth last time out over 400m at this track. Will not find this easy. Not keen.

Returns from a five months spell and did win when last resuming, scoring in 23.18 over 400m at this track. Looks a solid contender.

Missed the frame last time but was in the minors two on end prior to that, the most recent when second (19.07) at big odds over 318m at Dubbo. Has to overcome a wide draw and needs to find best form to feature.
