Didn't make the placings last time at this track (22.37) in a Grade 5, finishing a 6 length fifth. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and two minors. Makes strong appeal.

Consistent performer who is new here. Nice win last start by a neck at Q Straight (19.54) beating Steele Wolf in a Grade 5 on July 3. Some good form is emerging from that last run. Expected to prove hard to beat.

Resumes from a five months spell and was a winner at only other fresh up run, scoring in 23.14 over 395m at Albion Park. Has performed below expectations at his last couple but is capable of far better.

Form has been solid with minor placings at his last three starts. Last time out finished 3rd over 380m at this track beaten 7 lengths (22.18) behind Poppy Ed in a Grade 5 on June 27. Solid chance with even luck.

Could manage only fourth last time but turned heads the start prior when she clocked a fast 21.87 over 380m finishing second at this track. Harder here and one for the multiples.
