CATALPA RESCUE A (5) finished sixth last start, beaten 11 metres at this track over 1609m. Finds a suitable assignment and will prove very tough to beat.

Capable of better than we have seen lately. Last start 5th (Fr2) over 1609m at this track beaten 4.5 m by Coaches Corner (1:51.10) in BORG #5 on April 27 at $40.98. The run previous 7th (Fr7) over 1609m at this track, beaten 25 m by Captain Albano (1:52.00) in BORG #4 on April 20 at $49.24. Good enough to make amends in this line-up.

Recent efforts haven't been up to his best. Last start 5th (Fr3) over 1609m at this track beaten 5 m by Jabbar (1:51.30) in NW20000L5 on April 28 at $4.85. The run before pulled up at this track on March 30 over 1609m. No surprise to see him bounce back to form.
