Form has been steadily improving. Last start finished second over 480m at this track in 28.99 behind Toems Lee. Although beaten last time still ran one of the quickest times on the card. Stick with him.

Could only manage sixth last time out over 480m at this track, adding to some plain results of late. Cannot enthuse on this occasion.

Consistent performer who is new here. Nice win last start by one length at Kilkenny (29.22) beating Newinn Tonic in a ON2 on July 4. Some good form is emerging from that last run. Expected to prove hard to beat.
