Last start 12th (U1) over 1980m at this track, beaten 50 m by Francent (2:22.90) in 4yo+ M on April 11 at $33.40. At her previous start 6th (FrU1) over 1980m at this track, beaten 14 m by Hadron Collider (2:24.20) in 3yo+ on April 4 at $25.70. Better than the last few runs suggest.

Fair performance when beaten by 4.5 m finishing third behind Hadron Collider at this track over 1980m in a 3yo+ on April 4 at $11.90. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Francent at this track over 1980m in a 4yo+ M on April 11 at $6.70. One of the main contenders.

Last start 9th (Fr6) over 1980m at this track, beaten 25 m by Selsey Anne (2:24.30) in 3yo+ on April 11 at $49.50. Two runs back won by a 0.5 m (Fr6) at Manawatu (2:27.30) beating Kevin Kline in 3yo+ on April 1 at $9. This looks a far sterner task.

Last start solid effort when 2nd (Sr2) over 1980m at this track beaten a neck by Selsey Anne (2:24.30) in 3yo+ on April 11 at $8.50. Two runs back won by 1.4 m (Fr4) at this track (2:24.50) beating Francent in 3yo+ FM on March 28 at $5. Should be in the finish again.

Five-year-old mare who has been thereabouts in recent starts. Last start 4th (Sr1) over 1980m at this track, beaten 6 m by Selsey Anne (2:24.30) in 3yo+ on April 11 at $40.30. The poor draw makes this a difficult assignment. Not keen this time.

Recent efforts haven't been up to his best. Last start 15th (10m 2) over 2600m at this track beaten 25 m by Renegade (3:16.30) in 3yo+ on April 6 at $5.60. At the previous start 8th (10m 4) over 3000m at Oamaru beaten 21 m by She's Tough (3:58.60) on March 23 at $5.90. Expecting a much better run this time.
