Was out of placings last time (24.24) at Rockhampton in a Grade 3/4, finishing fourth and beaten 3.5 lengths. Goes well out of this box with a win and five minors. Can feature in the finish.

Finished third at big odds last time (22.46) over 380m at this track. Will need a little luck early from the draw. Others preferred.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (21.77) in a OPEN, finishing a 4 length fifth. Has three wins and three placings from nine starts from the draw. Looks a leading chance.
