Finished fifth two starts ago then regained form last time out when he found a couple better over 575m in a S1 at this track. Hard to make a case on this occasion.

Turned in a better effort over 575m at this track last start, finishing third behind Roxys Sunshine in a OR. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Solid formlines coming through that last run. Looks a major player.

Could only manage fourth last time out over 575m at this track (36.21) in a OR. Goes very well at this track and trip, including four wins. Has ability and is a key chance.
