Form has been good with a placing two starts ago and a win three runs back. Last time out finished 2nd over 390m at this track beaten 1.3 lengths (22.67) behind Homebush Gomez in a Class 3/4 on March 26. Be tough to make an impression against this lot.

Was in commission but ran below his best last start when sixth (25.99) over 457m at Cambridge Raceway. Looks hard to beat on best form.

Looks close to another win after his success on February 26 at this track over 457m. Last start was second over 457m in 25.81, behind Big Time Zip. Fought on last time. Right in the mix again.

Impressive performance leading throughout to post a big 4.5 lengths victory in a Class 4/5 last start at Wanganui, clocking a scintillating 29.70 over the 520m trip. Expected to go close again if runs up to latest time.

Jumps from box 7 for the first time after scoring at this track (22.58) in a Class 3/4. With even luck and a clean start should be thereabouts.
