Came from wide draw and finished 4th on August 27 over 461m at this track behind Grapefruit Expel beaten 9 lengths (26.59) in a Grade 5. Other runners look much more appealing.

Has been in the minors the last two, the latest showing strong pace early but gathered in and finished a 2.25 lengths third over 461m this track in 25.99. Rates highly on best form. Must include.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage sixth last time out over 515m at Launceston. Other runners look much more appealing.

Won two starts back when well in the market at this track over 461m. Last start finished 4th over 600m at Launceston beaten 1.3 lengths (35.14) behind Klondike Clyde in a Grade 4/5 on August 24. Boasts a course and distance PB in a dazzling 25.48. Top chance.

Missed the frame last time but was in the minors two on end prior to that, the most recent when second (30.11) at big odds over 515m at Launceston. Will need the right run to feature.
