Back after a break. Finished amongst the placegetters when 2nd last start at Sedgefield and taking on a lower class of opponents. Rates as one of the key chances.

Fresh today. Odds of $8.50 and ordinary performance when 5th last run at Doncaster but fitter for debut run. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Hard to see it being competitive today.

At $201.00 mediocre performance when 10th last time at Wincanton but competing at a lower class. Has early speed and positions nicely. This won't be easy.

Started $34.00 and ran 5th last run at Wincanton but up against a less competitive field. Should muster plenty of early speed. Prefer in a much weaker race.
