Strong performance to score by one length in a NG last start at this track, recording a superb 18.57 over the 330m journey. Rates a top chance again if runs up to latest.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (19.68) in a NG, finishing a 14 length seventh. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed two times. Looks a place chance at best.

Out of the placings last time but the run prior he was an eye-catching winner scoring by 2.5 lengths in a NG at this track and clocking a brilliant 18.56 for the 330m trip. Should be in this for a long way.

Impressive performance to score by 1.3 lengths in a Grade 4/5 last start at this track, recording a swift 18.86 over the 330m journey. Harder here but worth including in multiples.
