WIZARD WATSON (8) has a strong record this track and trip including four wins from six starts. Comes off a (25.28) win last time, scoring by a neck in a Grade 5 H over 450m at this track. Suited here and expected to run well. REALITY SECRET (1) turned in a better run last time to find a minor placing (25.44) at this track behind WIZARD WATSON in a Grade 5 H. Took the lead and boxed on but run over. Boasts two wins from two starts out of this box. Bold showing expected. DEEP THINKER (2) hit the frame latest (25.57) when third at this track in a Grade 5 H.

Eye-catching performance racing just off the speed and going on to score by a neck in a Grade 5 H last start at this track, recording a slick 25.28 over the 450m journey. Has the ability and looks a key chance again.
