Was $28.00 and struggled with the pace when 6th last start at this venue but was a debutant last start. Rising in distance. This won't be easy.

At $23.00 gave away some ground when 6th last start here but having second race start. Should be going forward early. Very slim hope.

Odds of $6.00 and crept into 4th last time at the track. Needs a mighty effort to win this.
