Was a winner three back at The Gardens then finished in the minors before missing the frame last time when sixth (31.06) at Taree Super Track. Looks a definite winning chance on best and given another chance.

Won two starts back at this track over 324m in 17.44. Followed that up with a minor placing over 324m at this track at Grade 4 nine days ago. This looks too tough.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage seventh last time out over 340m at Bulli. Other runners look much more appealing.

Last start finished last over 520m at Wentworth Park beaten 6 lengths (30.34) behind Rugged Ethics in a Grade 5 on April 11. Below best last time but looks well placed here. Deserves another chance.

Missed the frame last start when a 9 length sixth (30.34) at Wentworth Park. Previous form sound including a win three back at Dubbo. Looks a leading contender on best and expected to bounce back.
