Comes here off a last-start eighth over 2000m at Oamaru, beaten 14 metres. Won't find this easy. Not keen.

Last raced at Oamaru 11 weeks ago when he finished ninth, beaten 22 metres over 2000m. Will be hard to beat despite the layoff.

Form average and it has been five runs since the last win. Last start finished tenth over 2300m at Mt Harding. Not doing enough.

Finished third over 2400m at Mt Harding last start after he was unplaced two back at this track. Sure to be in the mix.

Scored by 1.1 metres over 2400m at Mt Harding last start on the back of a solid 9 metres fifth at this track the run before. One of the primary contenders.

Improved sharply last time out when she scored over 2400m at Mt Harding by 3.5 metres. Fitter for two runs in and looks tough to beat again.

Turned in a nice run two back then missed the placings last time when 16 metres adrift over 2400m at Mt Harding. Can do much better this time.

Has been out of the winner's circle for a long while. Finished fourth last start over 2000m at this track, 4.5 metres from the winner. Wait until the form picks up.

Finished runner-up over 2000m at this track last start after he was easily accounted for two back at this track. Will find this tough.

Lay inwards when being shifted wider by an inside runner near the 500m with the gelding's hind leg making contact with that runner before breaking and losing all chance.

Has been well below par at the last few runs, the latest when beaten 160 metres into 13th at Rangiora. Tricky draw to overcome. Others appear better placed.

Was a winner two back at Phar Lap Racecourse then couldn't back it up last time when 9 metres away in seventh at this track over 2000m. Better than last start and deserves another chance.
