Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by 2.25 lengths in 17.22, beating Mr. Chippewa. Last start finished 6th on January 8 over 295m at this track behind Homebush Dottie beaten 3.5 lengths (17.46) in a Class 3. Capable of taking this out.

Was out of the placings at final run of last campaign, finishing seventh (17.73) at this track before going for a three-and-a-half months spell. Has had a solo trial (17.16) here over 295m. Looks one of the better hopes in the race.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fourth last time out over 295m at this track. Not among the main chances this time.
