First run back from a break. Secured a close victory last start at Newcastle and facing weaker opposition. Goes down in weight. Will be down in distance. Worth a lot of thought in this race.

Back from a break. Was $26.00 and ran 8th last start at Wolverhampton but stepping down to a lower level. Expected to settle towards the tail. Looks too tough.

First up from a spell. Was amongst the placegetters when 3rd beaten by 5 1/2L last start at Goodwood and competing in an easier class. Has the ideal stall. Outside chance.

Resuming after a spell. Odds of $10.00 and didn't find the line when 7th last run at Wolverhampton but fitter for debut run. Prefer others.

Was $151.00 and clearly outclassed when 6th last start at Newcastle but having second race start. Will appreciate the drop in weight. This will pose a challenge.
