Comments

Finished fifth two starts ago then regained form last time out when he found a couple better over 500m in an A4 at this track. Can take this out on the back of that sound recent effort.

Sent out long odds last time but rocketed out of the boxes with a scorching early sectional and gave a sight before being swallowed up late, finishing a 3 length fifth (30.01) over 500m at this track. This will test.

Handy type with a solid strike-rate. Winner two back then well fancied last time and could manage only third over 500m at this track in 29.62. Rates highly on best form. Expected to feature.
