Hasn't threatened at his last couple but he does have a good record at the track and trip, including two wins. Capable of a strong show.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage sixth last time out over 457m at this track. Be tough to make an impression against this lot.

Was out of placings last time (17.65) at Wanganui Straight in a Class 2, finishing sixth and beaten 2 lengths. Goes very well from the draw boasting two victories and four places from 11 starts. Key chance and should go close.
