Last start finished last over 400m at this track beaten 10 lengths (23.82) behind Flying Goddess in a Mix 1/2/3 on July 24. Below best last time but looks well placed here. Deserves another chance.

Racing well without winning, recording three minors on end, the latest hitting the ground running with a fast early sectional but finishing in the minors again when second (23.18) over 400m at this track. Overdue for a win and gets his chance this time.

Flew the lids with a fast early split but ran over at the finish when a narrow fourth (23.10) over 400m at this track. Top-three hope with the right run.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (23.66) in a Mix 1/2/3, finishing a 8 length seventh. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed three times. Has ability but looking elsewhere this time.

Could only manage fourth last time but the start prior hit the frame at double figure odds when third (23.35) over 400m at this track. Has to overcome a wide draw but is in the mix.
