FLOJOS BEST (10) finished fifth last start, beaten 10 metres at this track over 2190m. Talented and has plenty of upside. Has ability and should be right in the finish.

Comes here second-up after a week. Lacklustre first-up performance when 6th (Sr3) over 2190m at this track, beaten 21 m by Im Stuck Man (2:43.40) in NR 50 to 55 on May 30 at $14. Has the job ahead against this lot.

Well beaten last start by Amys Baby Angel, who she meets again; was restrained, when 20 metres tenth at this track over 2190m in a NR 50 to 55 race on May 30. Hard to make a case.

Two back was beaten by 8 m finishing fourth behind Lombok at this track over 1790m in a NR 50 to 55 on May 23 at $34. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing second after a quick start, behind Im Stuck Man at this track over 2190m in a NR 50 to 55 on May 30 at $4.60. Solid top-three prospects.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 2.5 m second behind Amys Baby Angel at this track over 2190m NR 50 to 55 last start. Before that was beaten 4.5 metres third again at this track over 1790m same class on May 23. Should be there at the business end.

Last start 8th (Sr1) over 2190m at this track beaten 24 m by Im Stuck Man (2:43.40) in NR 50 to 55 on May 30 at $10. Two runs back won by 4.5 m as favourite (Sr3) at this track (2:13.60) beating Super Suspect in NR up to 49 on May 23 at $2. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.
