Zipped home into 3rd beaten by more than 3 1/2L last start at Windsor and was a debutant last start. Should be going forward early. Outside chance.

Odds of $3.50 and ran 4th last start at Hamilton but was a debutant last start. Should come to hand quickly. Remote chance at best.

Odds of $19.00 and came in 4th last run at Leicester but having second career run. Likely to get back. Much prefer the look of others in this race.

Dominant winner by 4 1/2L last start at Salisbury. Coming to a new trainer. Might take a while to wind up but should be hitting top gear in the straight. Serious contender.

Was $126.00 and unimpressive effort when 7th last run at Kempton. Won't be far away during the run. Would need to step up.

First up. Was $41.00 and folded up in the straight when 7th last run at this venue but was on debut last time. Rising in trip. Entitled to be a big price.
