Managed to run into 2nd last run at this venue in 18.53s over 318m and drawn the rails. On an upward trajectory in recent races. Good chance at a nice price.

Gave them all something to chase to win last run at this venue in 18.71s over 318m and form has been improving over recent runs. Can't entertain a bet.

Peaked on the run when 3rd last start around here in 18.56s over 318m. Has good early speed and will be nicely positioned. Rates as one of the key chances.
