Missed by a narrow margin last run at the track and can find a nice position from the draw. Not dismissing.

Despite getting tired late still placed 3rd beaten by 1 1/2L last run around here and was on debut last time. Will be positive in the run early. Watch for a sign in the market.

Peaked on the run when 3rd beaten by 8L last run around here and fitter for debut run. Jr Joseph Rocco and John E Salzman Jr link well together. Can't leave out of your calculations.

Odds of $11.00 and struggled with the pace when 5th last start around here but was a debutant last start. Likely to settle back in the field. Suggest watching.

Produced an eye catching run when 2nd last time around here and having second race start. Jockey Yedsit Hazlewood rates highly aboard. Will be motoring home late. Not at all out of this race.
