Suited by inside box. Last start finished 3rd on April 24 over 380m at this track behind Holly Magic beaten 6 lengths (22.10) in a Grade 5. Thereabouts at the last couple. Suited here and likely to run well.

Placed last time (22.33) at this track in a Grade 5, finishing second and beaten 0.8 lengths. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed two times. Has ability and should be around the money.

Finished in the minors last time in a Grade 5 at this track when a 2.5 lengths second but did run an enormous 21.80 over the 380m journey. Has the ability and looks hard to top.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fifth last time out over 380m at this track. Predicted to struggle on this occasion.
