M M S BUD (7) brought some very good form to the table before the latest appearance when he got the job done again, scoring by 2.25 metres over 1609m at this track. The driver has some work to do from this wide starting position. Primary contender in a similar assignment. CROOKED SMILE (5) is in good form at present. Finished second at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 0.9 metres. Meets a similar line up and he can take this out. COACH STEFANOS (6) scored last start over 1609m at this track. Generally runs very well at this circuit so can play a big role again. GOLDEN BAY N (3) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 4.5 metres at this track over 1609m.

Last start 4th (Fr1) over 1609m at this track, beaten 8 m by Coach Stefanos (1:51.00) in OPEN 1-2 on May 22 at $14.10. Two runs back won by 6 m (Fr5) at this track (1:51.20) beating Yourwishisgranted in OPEN 3-4 on May 15 at $4.30. Finds a few better. Can't recommend.

Comes here second-up after a week. Lacklustre first-up performance when 7th (Fr2) over 1609m at this track, beaten 17 m by Coach Stefanos (1:51.00) in OPEN 1-2 on May 22 at $26.30. A win is unlikely.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished a narrow second behind Coach Stefanos at this track over 1609m OPEN 1-2 last start. Before that was beaten 2.25 metres second again at this track in OPEN on May 15. Rates highly so expect a bold run.
