Got back early in the race last start when fourth over 500m at this track. Before that won by 1.5 lengths at this track (27.64) beating Deerland Flyer in a B3 on August 18. Has ability and worth including.

Big odds but gave a huge sight after burning early, finishing a nose second (29.93) over 500m at this track. Not among the main chances this time.

Sent out long odds last time but rocketed early with a sizzling early sectional before being gathered in late, finishing third (29.86) over 500m at this track. Likely to struggle this time.
