Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Good enough to put himself in the winners' stall. BB CRUISER (2) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 0.9 metres at this track over 1609m. HOT ROD HILL (9) is the next elect off a last-start win by 4.5 metres at this track over 1609m.
