Good performance after taking an early lead to score in an AA0 by nose at this track over 503m (30.02). Likely to find this too tough.

Quickly away last start and finished runner-up over 503m at this track. Close to the speed and boxed on well at the latest run. Key chance again.

Filled a minor placing last time over 503m (29.96) at this track in an AA0, beaten 6 lengths. Strong record at this track and trip with five wins and two placings from nine starts. Looks one of the chances.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by 1.5 lengths over 503m at this track in a handy 29.58, beating Daleroad Duke. In form and expected to run well again.

Had won two on end but missed the hat-trick last start when third and beaten 5.5 lengths (29.96) in an AA0 over 503m at this track. Well placed and can bounce back.
