Odds of $12.00 and ran 4th last time at the track but honest performer putting a tidy record together. In top racing shape since coming back from a break. Very unlikely to shake these.

Won with a leg in the air by 3 1/4L last start at this track and going up in distance. Displaying improvement over the past few runs. Not interested today.

Put a gap on the rest when winning by 4 1/2L last run here and solid career start. First start for a new trainer but matched against a stronger field. Very tidy performer.

Was much too speedy in front to win by a margin of 7L last run here and demonstrating upward trajectory in recent races. Has early speed and positions nicely. Major chance.

Started $16.00 and weakened to finish 5th last start at this track but good career start. Racing in stronger company. Cannot have under these circumstances.
