Was $15.00 and came in 6th last run at Kenilworth but was a debutant last start. Likely to get back in the field. Gets a favourable draw. Hard to warm to.

Jumped at $19.00 and ran 5th last run at Kenilworth and will be facing a significant drop in distance. Can't suggest backing.

Started at $6.00 and appeared lacklustre when 6th last run here but fitter for debut run. One for your trifecta.

Was $67.00 and sub-standard effort when 8th last run at this track but having second race start. Has the speed to overcome the wide draw. Will be a challenge.
