Returns to 1207m after a 1006m run at Finger Lakes on 18 May where he sat handy before fading to 4th of 5, 5.6L behind Bustin Away at Allowance Optional Claiming 81. He owns a solid record at the track and trip (2:1-0-1) and draws barrier 2 with 55.5kg and blinkers on. Capable of improving back to his preferred distance from a soft gate.

Returns first-up off a 6-month break with blinkers added, drawn barrier 3 and carrying 55.5kg. Proven at Finger Lakes (33:7-8-6) and this trip (25:5-5-3), and his last run here was a 2nd over 1207m in Claiming 87, beaten 1.5L at $1.85. Solid local records and the familiar Perez/Ferraro combo (29:6-8-4) set a competitive platform.

Proven at Finger Lakes with a solid (8:3-0-0) track record and a winning combo with Joel Cruz (6:3-0-0). First up after 9 months, he returns to 1207m where he’s (5:1-1-1) and draws barrier 4 with 55.5kg and blinkers on. Recent wins here at 1106m and 1207m last prep suggest he’s capable if near his best.

Consistent this season (15:1-2-2) and drawn well in barrier 5 with 55.5kg after adding blinkers. Yet to win at 1207m (8:0-2-0) and unplaced at Finger Lakes from one try, but his barrier profile is solid from gates 4-6 (15:2-2-2). Honest type who can be competitive with the setup.

Prolific at Finger Lakes (44:10-10-9) and very effective at 1207m, particularly at this track and trip (24:6-5-6). Second-up today with solid prep stats (5:1-0-2) and strong affinity with Nazario Alvarado (3:2-1-0). Consistent profile and proven setup point to another honest showing at 56kg from barrier 6.
