Comments

Sent out long odds last time but rocketed out of the boxes with a fast early sectional and gave a sight before being swallowed up late, finishing a 2 length second (34.64) over 600m at this track. Has claims if at her best.

He hasn't been setting the track on fire and faces tougher opposition here. Has failed to show enough to come into contention here.

Won two starts back at Bendigo over 660m when well in the market then went for a spell of a week-and-a-half. Returned last start finished 3rd in a Restricted WIN H on April 8 over 600m at this track behind Espoir beaten 5.5 lengths (34.87). Some good form is emerging from that last run. Expected to prove hard to beat.
