SCARTY FINNOULA (3) was strong over this course and distance last time despite filling the minors, finishing 1.5 lengths behind Eviesteel Hope in 27.88 and recording a new PB here. Has the ability and can measure up. ABBYS HOPE (5) was game in defeat at the latest run, finishing second and beaten 1.3 lengths (28.04) behind Baby Centurion at this track.

Could only manage fifth last time out over 450m at this track, adding to some plain results of late. Failed to threaten last start and looks tested again.

Moderate effort last start when he finished 4th on September 28 over 450m at this track behind Strike It Odette beaten 6 lengths (27.98) in an A4. Doesn't profile as a likely winner.
