Backs up after one week and comes through a sound third in Class 2 company at this track, beaten four and a half lengths by Steamy Mist after settling handy and working home evenly. He had bumps early and near the 650m, while the run prior saw him beat Pafitis at this venue. Strong rider record gives him genuine place claims.

Returns from a lengthy spell after ending his last campaign with a fifth in a BM64 at this track, beaten just over five lengths by King Akeed after leading and tiring late. He had also been safely held behind Runaway Tycoon. Easier company helps, but the track-and-distance record is a clear concern.

Progressed sharply through the campaign and made full use of market confidence last start, winning as favourite at this track and beating Sass by two lengths. His previous third behind I Loverain in BM54 grade was also solid, beaten only half a length, and the 2kg apprentice claim is another plus. Apprentice claim helps and he looks the one to beat.

Came out of SC grade with a decisive win at this track, beating Mistifyzou by just over three lengths after racing wide and still kicking clear. That was a much stronger piece of form than the Kununurra sixth over 1350m two back, where he failed to finish off. Proven at the distance and looks the clear threat to the favourite.

Latest run was plain, finishing last behind Meet Me At The Bar at this track and beaten over 12 lengths after beginning awkwardly and never getting into the race. The Yeppoon second in Class 3 grade two starts ago reads better, when near the top of betting and beaten just under two lengths. Capable of better if he rebounds sharply.

Was near the top of betting last start but finished fifth behind Meet Me At The Bar, beaten just over seven lengths after beginning awkwardly and racing wide. The prior win over Pafitis at this track showed his best when able to lead and keep going. Has to lift on that.

Has finished second at his past two runs at this track, most recently as favourite behind Meet Me At The Bar when beaten just under two lengths after travelling into it nicely. He was also close to Predicting the run prior. Winning record is thin, but he is hard to leave out of multiples.

Resumed with a useful third at this track, beaten just under two lengths by Tokyo Bandit after beginning slowly, racing keenly and still closing into a placing. His previous run before the break was a plain eighth over 1300m, but this 1100m record is much better, with two wins and two placings from six starts. Stronger at 1100m and has a genuine each-way profile second-up.

Returns from a three-month break after a narrow fifth at this track, beaten just over a length by Texture in a race where he began slowly but stayed on well enough. His prior BM68 sixth was much flatter, beaten seven and a half lengths. Has distance form to lean on, though he must leave the BM68 effort behind.

Kept on for third behind Debating at this track last start, beaten just over four lengths at generous odds, and that followed a plain BM54 fifth behind Order Online. Her profile is more about reliability than brilliance, with one win and seven placings from twelve starts in the past 12 months. Winning strike is modest, but she has the right profile.

Finished fifth behind Tokyo Bandit at this track last start, beaten just over five lengths after working into the race but failing to finish it off. She had won a Mdn at this venue the run prior, beating Macaverty by just under a length, but the overall record is only one win and one place from twelve starts. Others bring more convincing recent figures.

Has been fourth at her past two starts, most recently beaten just under four lengths behind Tokyo Bandit at this track after tracking the speed and being pipped at the post for a placing. The run prior in Class 2 company was only fair, beaten five and a half lengths by All Inclusive. Track-and-trip form helps, but she has struggled to convert.

Finished sixth behind Meet Me At The Bar at this track last start, beaten eight and a half lengths after being tightened near the 700m but still unable to launch a serious challenge. Two back she battled on for fourth behind Predicting in a small field. Others preferred.
