Resumes from a break and did win only other start when fresh which was on debut, scoring over 350m at Grafton. Looks a danger to the top few.

Has finished sixth at his last couple of starts, most recently at Capalaba over 366m. Happy enough to dismiss in this field.

Won two starts back when well in the market at this track over 300m. Last start finished 3rd in a Maiden on May 11 over 300m at this track behind Let Me Go beaten 2.5 lengths (17.11). Has been around the mark at his last couple and should make his presence felt.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fourth last time out over 300m at this track. Prepared to overlook.
