Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fifth last time out over 515m at this track. Not keen, needs to lift.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at this track over 515m in 29.43 last start, beating Code Of Silence. Has run very fast time at this course and distance. Worth including.

Good effort to win last start by 1.5 lengths over 400m at Maitland in a handy (22.77), beating Jake Peralta. Will find this a bit tougher, prepared to overlook.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage sixth last time out over 515m at this track. Hard to tip with any confidence.
