Seen more often at sprint trips but he's suited by 7f too and has a very good record on this track, making it 3-4 in handicaps here when winning over C&D last month; back up 1lb; strong contender.

Just one win from 17 starts but she finished well to go close off this reduced mark over C&D two weeks ago; they finished in a bunch that day but that was her best effort for some time and she's a big player if she can back that up.
