Form average and it has been four runs since the last win. Last start finished eighth over 2600m at Addington. Capable of going a lot better.

Returns from a break after some strong form last campaign. Last appeared when sixth over 2600m at Addington eight months ago. Has won when fresh before and looks primed following a recent trial win.

Missed the placings again last start, beaten 250 metres when sixth over 2400m at Richmond Park. Wait until the form picks up.

Saluted two runs ago at Rangiora then didn't back it up last time when beaten 115 metres over 2170m at Motukarara Raceway. Prefer others on this occasion.

Finished third at Mt Harding two starts ago then franked that effort with a win last time over 2170m at Motukarara Raceway, scoring by 1.5 metres. Not keen this time.
