TENZING BROMAC N (2) filled a minor placing at Tioga Downs two runs ago before finishing second at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 1.5 metres. Has the benefit of a good draw. Meets some better types this time but a big run is on the cards. HEINIKIN BYTHEBAY (4) finished fourth last start, beaten 17 metres at this track over 1609m. Expecting a very good run. LIFES A PUZZLE (5) is the next elect off a last-start win by 15 metres at this track over 1609m. CONFEDERATESTAR N (7) disappointed last time but is a chance based on a good win over 1609m at this track two runs back.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 1.5 m second behind Franco Tyson at this track over 1609m NW10000CD last start. Before that was beaten 2.25 metres third at Tioga Downs in NW10001-4 on May 3. Racing well and is a strong chance.

Backing up quickly since being well beaten this track over 1609m, 7 days ago and two back 5th (Fr1) over 1609m at this track, beaten 12 m by Rockin On Venus (1:51.00) in NW12500CD on May 7 at $29.60. Difficult to enthuse based on recent efforts.

Two back was well beaten into seventh behind For Once Inmy Life at this track over 1609m in a OPEN on April 20 at $22.10. Then a handy effort when beaten by 9 m finishing third behind Borninlockdown at this track over 1609m in a OPEN 2 HC on May 14 at $25.20. Capable of testing this line-up.

Failed to impress last start; 7th (Fr9) over 1609m at this track, beaten 14 m by Rockin On Venus (1:51.00) in NW12500CD on May 7 at $2.70. Showed ability the run before when he won by 2.25 m as favourite (Fr7) at this track (1:51.40) beating Sling Shock in NW10000CD on April 28 at $1.90. Wasn't at his best last time - can improve.
