NUGGET ROBERTS (8) has a strong record here with 12 wins and seven placings from 34 starts. Recorded a 1.5 lengths win (20.10) in a Grade 5 last time at this track. Makes strong appeal on best. BUDDY BONUS (2) was prominent early from the tricky draw and did a fair job to be beaten 2.25 lengths into third (20.14) at this track in a Grade 5 over 350m. Solid formlines coming through his last run. Expected to be in the finish again. KICK IT OFF (1) failed to feature last start after drifting back at this track, but prior to that won by 1.5 lengths at this track (20.11) beating Arctic Bell in a Grade 5 on March 17. Has ability and can measure up. GENOVESE (4) is worth consideration.

Placed last time (20.14) at this track in a Grade 5, finishing third and beaten 2.25 lengths. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and four minors. Looks a leading chance.

Improved sharply when third behind Call To Arms at this track last start over 350m (20.18). Gets back so might need a bit of luck.

Good effort to win last start by 2.25 lengths over 350m at this track in a handy (19.97), beating Our Miracles. Will find this a bit tougher, happy enough to avoid.
