Out of the placings last time but the run prior he recorded a speedy 18.26 over 312m finishing third at this track. This tougher but prefer for a place this time.

Good effort to score just three days ago over 312m at this track by 1.3 lengths in a OPEN. Makes plenty of appeal on the back of the latest win.

Was in a purple patch of form before proving a little disappointing last start, finishing fourth at this track over 383m. Likely to find this too tough.

Was out of placings last time (18.20) at this track in a OPEN, finishing fourth and beaten 3.5 lengths. Goes very well off the draw boasting six wins and two places from 11 starts. Looks hard to beat with even luck.
