Was dominant when winning by a margin of close to 6L last time at Ffos Las and was a debutant last start. Facing weaker opposition. Attracts support.

Started $151.00 and looked flat when 5th last start at this track but will find this grade easier. Has early speed and positions nicely. Highly unlikely to feature here.

Resuming after a break. Was $151.00 and finished 5th last time at Wolverhampton but competing in an easier class. Will be giving the leaders a big start. Drawn the rails. Cannot be tipped.

In the money when 3rd last start at Pontefract and having second career run. Up against weaker rivals. Dropping in distance. Place claims at best.

Jumped at $19.00 and ran 5th last start at Hamilton but was on debut last time. Up against a less challenging field. Suited by the weight drop. Not likely to be troubling the more fancied runners today.

Odds of $151.00 and unsatisfactory performance when 9th last start at Southwell but dropping in grade. Appears tested in this.

Started at $9.00 and came in 4th last time at Hamilton but competing at a lower level of competition. Will be around the mark.
