Won at Hamilton (6f, good) last month on second start back from a break and the neck runner-up went one better there next time; he's used to plying to his trade in a lower grade but is not discounted up just 2lb.

Holds her form really well despite being kept busy, winning three times here since mid-June and making it 12 course wins overall; the return here is a big plus, but all 14 career wins have come over 6f so she does have something to prove on a rare attempt at 5f; stable also runs Harb.

Acts on good to firm and good to soft; has patchy profile but he's won twice at Hamilton (6f) this summer including with a late thrust 11 days ago; now drops back in trip but he's only 2lb higher than last time and could be a big factor again if he gets a good pace.
