Consistent performer who is new here. Nice win last start by 1.5 lengths at Nowra (29.81) beating Maggie's Ethics in a NG on November 1. Makes plenty of appeal on the back of the latest win.

Hit the frame at this track last time when a 2 length second but did record a respectable 29.67 over the 515m journey. Looms as the one to beat this time.

Got back last start and could only manage third but before that won comfortably by 3.5 lengths at Richmond (22.74) beating Go Forward Tiger in a Grade 5 on October 23. Not keen this time.

Has been in tremendous form, putting three wins together. Had plenty of support last start when he won comfortably by 7 lengths at this track (29.31) beating Gypsy Ibrox in a NG on November 3. In hot form and can take this out.

Form has been solid with minor placings at her last three starts. Last time out finished 3rd in a Mix 3/4 on October 29 over 515m at this track behind Erupt beaten 5.5 lengths (30.04). Fair run last start but needs to improve further.
