UNION LIGHTS (1) finds it hard to win with five victories from 70 starts. Did a good job last start to finish second over 1673m at this track, beaten 10 lengths. In the right race and there is no reason he cannot get the major prize. TWENTY ONE KID (2) finished 8 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1207m at this track two weeks ago. Steps up in distance today. Among the chances. BATTER UP BUD (6) finished out of the money two starts back then he was never in contention and was beaten 22 lengths when fifth over 1673m at this track two weeks ago. Nicely placed to get the prize. THIRSTY PAPPY (5) was unplaced two runs back when fresh from a spell then again missed the frame last start over 1673m at this track, beaten 24 lengths into sixth. Well placed and can figure in the finish this time.

Third-up today and placed third-up in the past. Resuming eased back early on 8th of 10 at this track on May 1 over 1710m, 8 len behind Rerally with 55.5kg at $76.60. Second run from a spell 4th in a small field at this track on May 18 over 1673m, 17 len behind Amity Road with 55.5kg at $68.70. Doesn't profile as a likely winner.
