Returns from a lengthy spell of over a year, having last raced when winning narrowly in NMW1Y grade at Belmont Park after sitting just off the speed. He had earlier finished sixth at Ascot behind Buthelezi and has only trialled at Lark Hill two weeks ago. Proven at this track and trip, but race fitness is the sticking point.

Resumed in the right style at Belmont Park, leading throughout in NMW1Y grade as favourite and beating Dreamers Never Die by just over half a length. The 1200m record is sound, with two wins and two placings from eight starts, and Lucy Fiore is among the leading riders at this track. Too good from the front last start and can repeat the dose.

Worked home respectably from well back when seventh in NMW1Y grade at Ascot, beaten four and a half lengths in Saturday company. His Northam run before the break was only fair as favourite, but William Pike returning is significant given their record together. Needs a touch of luck, but some gear changes should help him bounce back.

Back from two months off after finishing fifth at this track, beaten just over four lengths at big odds after settling well back. His previous run here on soft ground was plainly beaten, and he has gone unplaced in all seven starts across the past 12 months. Not here.

Second run back. First-up after four months raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 10 in a Grad Hcp 60+ at Ascot on October 31 over 1100m, slow going 2.5 len behind First Beach carrying 57.5kg at $13. Previously second-up 2nd of 13 in a Rtg 66+ at Ascot on April 18 over 1200m, on a slow track; 0.6 len behind Sir Dreamalot carrying 54kg at $11. Has a solid second up record and a better run is expected.

Has been close enough in both runs this campaign, finishing third at Northam over 1000m before a fifth in FM Class 3 company when beaten just over a length by Elegant Ruler. She covered ground last time and also raced keenly, so the run had merit. Gets weight relief, blinkers first time and looks ready third-up.

Returns from a five-month break with a Lark Hill trial win to bring her along for the first-up assignment. She was fourth in the Listed Belmont Oaks before the spell and had run third at Belmont the start prior, beaten a length in 1 Metro Win grade. Nice trial coming in can see her play a leading role.

Battled on well when fourth at Belmont Park last week, beaten just under a length at long odds in stronger metro company. He is a proven 1200m performer with two wins and one placing from five attempts at the distance, and he has won at this track and trip. Has claims.

Had excuses when sixth at this venue last start in Class 3 grade, being bumped early and then racing wide from the 600m before finishing three and a half lengths away. Her Northam run before the break was also below market expectation, so she is not easy to trust. Local stable strength keeps her in the place discussion.

Finished seventh behind Bannered in NMW1Y grade at Belmont Park, beaten just under four lengths after settling back and making some late ground. He had been unwanted in the market when eighth at Ascot before that, and the 14-start unplaced run across the past 12 months is a real concern. Finds the right race.

Ran third to Bannered at Belmont last start in NMW1Y grade, beaten a length and a half after beginning only fairly and laying in. That followed a fourth at Northam where he made ground, so his latest form is honest enough. Looking to others.

Was held up late when 11th at Northam in FM Class 3 grade, but she was still beaten just over four lengths at long odds and had finished ninth at this track the start prior. She has won twice at 1200m, so the trip itself is not the problem. Must show a sharper finish.

Raced wide throughout when fourth to Bannered at Belmont Park, beaten two and a half lengths at big odds, so the effort had some merit. She had also placed at this venue in Class 3 grade the run before, and the 1.5kg claim assists. Place hope if she lifts again, but winning looks harder.
