Tidy run when 2nd last start at the track but has to carry more weight this time. Showing positive results since resuming from a spell. Stands out as good value.

Jumped at $5.50 and clearly outclassed when 12th last start at this track but gets a reduction in weight. Ale Mereu is a key booking. One for your tricast.

Nice run when 3rd last run at this venue and gets a favourable draw. Showing great form this preparation but will have to carry more weight. Should run a competitive race.
