Working his way into winning form after his success on September 10 at this track over 305m. Last start was second over 305m in 17.96, behind Paw London. Has an exceptional 17.53 best time at this course and distance. Big chance.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fourth last time out over 305m at this track. Prefer in something easier.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at Ballarat over 390m in 22.58 last start, beating Super Sealant. Strongly fancied last time and lived right up to expectations. Stick with her.
