Didn't fire two runs back then progressed nicely last time to finish second over 500m at this track. Back on track last time but this looks a stern test.

In the money at this track at his last couple of starts, most recently finishing third over 500m. Won't find this any tougher. Hard to beat with even luck.

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to finish third over 500m at this track. Sure to be most competitive again.
