Finished third at big odds last time (29.86) over 520m at this track. Will need a little luck early from the draw. Looks to have the job ahead.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at this track over 520m in 29.50 last start, beating Ritza Sophie. Has the ability to be in the finish.

Won two starts back when well in the market at Q Parklands over 520m. Last start finished 2nd over 520m at Q Parklands beaten 5.5 lengths (29.92) behind Star Turn in a Free For All on September 17. Most reliable when jumping from this draw. Leading chance.

Flew the lids with a quick early split but had to settle for the minor money when third (25.95) over 472m at Bulli. More than capable and has to be included.

Good effort to win last start by 1.5 lengths over 520m at this track in a handy (29.62), beating West Rock Casey. Will find this a bit tougher, looking to others this time.
