Key player if finds best. HOMEBUSH FOX (7) has been mixing form lately, hitting the frame two back before finishing fifth (17.45) at this track in a Class 3. Can feature with the right run.

Was out of the placings last time but the start prior finished in the minors when third (17.36) at big odds over 295m at this track. Has to overcome a wide draw but is worth plenty of thought.
