Comes off a (25.69) win last time, scoring by half a length in a Grade 5 over 450m at this track. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and three minors. Suited here and expected to run well.

Surprised two starts back at Ballarat to win by half a length in 25.33, beating Aston Grandeur. Last start finished 7th on September 10 over 515m at Sandown behind Mepunga Turbo beaten 13 lengths (30.30) in a Grade 5. Can't recommend against this lot.

Was out of placings last time (30.59) at Addington in a R/A FIN, finishing fourth and beaten 3 lengths. Still a maiden from this draw but has never missed the frame from three starts. Looks suited and should go close.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage sixth last time out over 525m at The Meadows. Others hold stronger claims.
