Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by one length in 18.95, beating Dana Curly. Last start finished 5th over 400m at this track beaten 7 lengths (23.72) behind Leoni Bale in a Grade 4/5 on May 30. Better off looking to others.

Resumes from a four-and-a-half months spell and was in the minors at only other fresh up run, finishing second over 320m at this track. Still to win from this draw but has been in the placings three times. Top chance.

Was in solid form before a spell but below expectations when resuming, finishing sixth over 320m at this track in 18.96. Overall winning strike-rate moderate but rarely far away. Bold showing expected but prefer each way again.

Solid performance to win by one length at this track over 320m (18.28) beating Canya Coin in Grade 4 on August 4. Looks the one to beat again.
