Chimed in with a win last run here and hard to fault at the distance. Should be going forward early. Going well this preparation. Should progress and will be close.

At $4.40 only fair when 6th last time at this track. Capable of a strong comeback. Should race on the speed. Has been a model of consistency this campaign. Very tidy performer.
