Comments

Returns from a two-month freshening after causing an upset in a BM82 at this track, beating Cork Bay by a length at long odds. That was a sharp turnaround after being well beaten behind Palace Gift in Open grade at Kenilworth, so the form line comes with some caution. He is proven at this track and distance, but he has to show that latest win was repeatable against a small, competitive field.

Comments

Worked into third over 1000m at this track last start in Open grade, beaten three and a half lengths after firming from opening levels. His previous eighth in BM98 company was not far away on margin, and he is now third-up with a previous win around this trip. The profile is honest enough, but the distance query keeps him more in the each-way mix than as a leading win threat.

Comments

Returns from a two-month freshening with the right setup to improve on two sound but unplaced runs this campaign. He was fifth in BM82 grade two back, beaten just under three lengths, then again fifth in Open company over 1400m when near the top of an open market. Back to 1250m, where he has won once from two tries, and with strong jockey-horse form, he looks well placed to take this out.

Comments

Resumes off a six-week freshening in winning form after taking a BM80 at this track by half a length, with the market firmly on side. That followed a narrow Kenilworth second in BM82 company, so his current campaign form is easy to respect. Two wins and one placing from four starts around 1250m give him a solid platform, though he profiles as a major place chance rather than a standout.

Returns from a three-month break after ending the last campaign with a narrow win at Greyville Aw, beating Mist In Maryland by a nose as favourite. She had earlier run second at Scottsville, so the form is not without merit, and she has won around this distance. This is a different test fresh, however, and she will have to find another level to trouble the main chances.

Comments

Returns from a five-week freshening after finishing second last in a BM70 at this track, beaten over 10 lengths, which followed an eighth in Open company when unwanted in the market. The class drop and 6kg weight swing from last start are clear positives, but five previous attempts around 1250m have produced only one placing. A rebound puts him in the minor-money mix.
