Last start finished 5th in a Grade 5 on May 24 over 400m at this track behind Evie's Promise beaten 7 lengths (23.86). Looks well placed and should prove hard to beat.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage sixth last time out over 320m at Wagga. Will not find this easy. Not keen.

Didn't make the placings last time at Gosford (23.10) in a Grade 5, finishing a 10 length fifth. Placed at all two starts from this draw. Tough field and looking to others this time.

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by 0.8 lengths in 18.62, beating Libby Keeping. Last start finished 6th over 318m at this track beaten 5 lengths (18.78) behind Babette Fusion in a Maiden on May 17. Capable of taking this out.

Has shown little speed out of the boxes and drifts back in his races. The latest effort was a 7 length sixth over 527m at Gunnedah. Better off looking to others.

Got back last start and could only manage fifth but before that won comfortably by 8 lengths at this track (18.22) beating Mid City Phoenix in a Maiden on May 12. Can't enthuse on this occasion.

Latest effort finished 3rd in a Grade 5 on May 21 over 527m at Gunnedah behind Fantastic Dave beaten 2.5 lengths (31.31). Has been racing well. Well placed here and looks a leading contender.
