Not a bad run last time to finish fourth over 2400m at Central Southland Raceway, beaten 5 metres. Won't find this easy. Not keen.

Had a difficult draw last start and didn't make an impact when sixth at this track over 2200m, beaten 11 metres. Better than last start and deserves another chance.

Has been out of the winner's circle for a long while. Finished sixth last time out over 2400m at Central Southland Raceway, 13 metres from the winner. Hard to have on those efforts.

Form average and it has been five runs since the last win. Last start finished ninth over 1609m at Central Southland Raceway. One to consider as her best is good enough.

Was runner-up two starts back at this track before disappointing last start when eighth at Central Southland Raceway over 2400m. Better run anticipated this time.

Continued a long run without winning when seventh at Central Southland Raceway over 2400m last time out. This looks far too tough.

Won two back at this track then couldn't repeat the dose last time out when fifth over 2400m at Central Southland Raceway, beaten 12 metres. Well-placed in this contest. Strong contender.
