Odds of $15.00 and came in 8th last start at the track. Can show a better performance this time and can find a nice position from the draw. Definite winning chance.

Resuming. At $23.00 average at best when 8th last time at Greyville. Expected to settle towards the rear. Large claim helps. Appears tested.

Was $34.00 and came in 4th last time at Scottsville. Prefers to settle towards the tail. Not dismissing.

Started at $34.00 and below par when 9th last time here but was a debutant last start. Might have to make up considerable ground. Will struggle against these.
