Grabbed towards the finish when 3rd last time at the track and putting a tidy record together so far. Should muster plenty of early speed. Reasonable chance.

Jumped at $36.00 and finished 7th last time at the track but having second race start. Likely to get back in the run. Simply cannot have today.

Was $11.00 and ran 7th last time around here but fitter for debut run. Will be facing a challenge.

Was agonizingly close last start around here. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Has run into the placings at every start this preparation. Good chance at a nice price.
