TARAWI TANK (4) has a strong winning strike-rate over this track and trip with four wins and a placing from six tries. Recorded a 4.5 lengths win (17.77) in a Grade 5 last time at this track. Makes strong appeal on best. STRAIGHT OUT (5) settled down midfield and held his position to the line when finishing 4th (18.15) at this track. Can do much better this time. DESPICABLE RAMBO (6) jumped from a squeeze box last start but was quickly into stride and led throughout to score (17.84) at this track in a Grade 5 over 324m. Sure to be thereabouts. TOMMY'S PRAYER (3) cannot be left out over a shorter trip.

Last start finished fifth over 388m at Gosford, beaten 13 lengths (23.04) behind Hello Chilli in a Grade 5 on March 11. Will find this a little easier. Solid claims this line-up.

Last start finished eighth in a Grade 5 on February 7 over 401m at Richmond behind Tasty Snack, beaten 16 lengths (24.49). Will find this a little easier. Forgive the latest run. Has solid claims on his best form.

Won again in another strong performance after leading recording back-to-back wins at this track over 324m (17.77). With even luck looks hard to beat again.

Last start finished 4th on March 6 over 324m at this track behind Mr. Irrelevent beaten 2.5 lengths (18.15) in a Grade 5. Has run blistering time here with a 17.48 PB at the distance. Hard to beat.

Strong performance to win by 1.5 lengths at this track over 324m (17.84) beating Son Of Harada in Grade 5 on March 6. Makes plenty of appeal. Go close again.

Hasn't shown any early speed lately and drifts back in his races. The latest effort was a 11 length seventh over 388m at Gosford. Can't recommend him in this.
