ASTON CONGO (2) turned in a plain performance last time when sixth at Taree Super Track over 300m behind Pippa (18.30) in a Grade 5. The form out of last race has been strong. Ready to return to form. CRUISING ALONG (7) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing seventh (30.60) last time in a Grade 5 at this track. Form from his last run is proving to be solid. In the mix. SWIFT CHOICE (1) produced a modest effort most recently when eighth at Gosford over 388m behind Dinali Keroma (23.35) in a Grade 5. Cannot be taken lightly. WAMBA NELLA (5) can play a role in the finish without surprising.

Latest effort finished last in a Grade 5 on April 29 over 388m at Gosford behind Dinali Keroma beaten 17 lengths (23.35). Tipped to improve sharply. Rates highly on best form.

Facing tougher opposition than he has faced recent starts and current form just not to what is required to figure. Has failed to show enough to come into contention here.

Dual acceptor. Missed the frame when fifth (23.73) at this track at last run and returns here after a five months break. Looks a strong place chance.
