FIREBIRD (4) broke a string of placings finishing in the money two on end before a last start fifth (36.62) at this track. Form at the trip sound including six wins. Boasts two wins from four starts out of this box. Key runner on her best form. APACHE TIGER (7) has a strong record here with nine wins and three placings from 15 starts. Comes off a (35.85) win last time, scoring by 6 lengths in a NG over 620m at this track. Looks suited here and can measure up. DISTANCE DRUMS (1) is having his first try over the longer journey. Yet to win from this draw but has run some good races. With even luck and a clean start can sneak into the finish. GOLDMINE FIRE (8) boasts a solid strike-rate over this trip.

Comments

Hit the ground running with a slick early sectional but had to settle for a minor placing when a 6 length third over 642m at Q Lakeside, clocking 36.54. More than capable and ready to find best form.

Expected Early Speed:Midfield
