Last start was well beaten into ninth behind Mister Smartee at this track over 2536m in a G1 No NR on April 25 at $6.50. Performed better the start before where he posted a big 10 m win when quickly away, (Fr5) at this track (2:32.60) beating Mister Smartee in NR 90 or better on April 18 at $2 at the bell was leading.7m on the pegs. Tough draw last time but looks tough to stop from the inside barrier.

Expected Settling Position: Leader

Last start was well back in the run when 7th (Fr6) over 2536m at this track was 8th-11.3m on the pegs at the bell, beaten 10 m by Mister Smartee (3:00.30) in G1 No NR on April 25 at $151. Two runs back 3rd (Fr1) over 2130m after showing early pace at this track was 3rd-3.7m on the pegs at the bell, beaten 11 m by Catch A Wave (2:32.60) in NR 90 or better on April 18 at $23. Might find this a bit tough.

Ran well last start showing plenty of improvement following April 18 run. Last start posted a big 6 m win as favourite when quickly away, (Fr1) at this track (3:03.60) beating Ima Fivestar General in No NR on April 25 at $1.90 at the bell was leading.5m on the pegs. This race will be harder than that win. Not keen.

Racing consistently with minor placings at his last two starts at this course. Placed last start was driven from back in the field when 3rd (Fr8) over 2536m at this track was 7th-10.8m on the pegs at the bell, beaten 7 m by Prince Of Pleasure (3:03.60) in No NR on April 25 at $15. Before that 3rd (Sr1) over 2130m at this track, beaten 11 m by Mister Smartee (2:30.90) in G3 No NR on April 11 at $41. Will find this a lot tougher.

Two back was well beaten into ninth behind Wonderful To Fly at this track over 2130m in a No NR on April 4 at $1.70. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Mister Smartee at this track over 2536m in a G1 No NR on April 25 at $31. Nice effort last time. Strong contender off an eye-catching effort last start.

Expected Settling Position: Leader

Last start won by 2 m (Fr7) at this track (3:00.30) beating Gee Heza Sport in G1 The Nullarbor on April 25 at $8 at the bell was 3rd-3.6m 2WWC. Terrific effort last week and can go back-to-back.

Seven-year-old gelding who has plenty of ability. Unlucky last start 5th (Fr2) over 2536m at this track, at the bell was 6th-7.9m on the pegs beaten 3.5 m by Mister Smartee (3:00.30) in G1 No NR on April 25 at $23. Not out of this despite the second-row draw. No luck last start and can be in the finish.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 2.5 m third behind Mister Smartee at this track over 2536m G1 No NR last start. Before that was beaten 2 metres second at Pinjarra over 1684m in G3 No NR on March 17. Top performer in good form so is right in the calculations again.

Expected Settling Position: Leader
