Jumped at $13.00 and couldn't maintain the pace when 8th last run at this venue. Giving another chance here and has drawn to do little work. Watch for a sign in the market.

Struggled with the pace when 8th last time at Casino. Looking past the last run but coming back in distance. Has plenty of early speed. Very competitive this preparation. Will go close.

Comments

Bold effort when winning last start around here in 20.04s over 350m and have to respect the form at this distance. Can't knock the form winning 2 on the bounce. Good tough competitor that can be supported.

Did well when 2nd last start here and will try to take advantage of the draw. Has very good closing speed. Stamps its reason for consideration.
