ARG Comment: Ran a super race last week after gaining a start as second reserve. Does run very wide, but has good early pace and if she gets some luck, can figure at the finish.

ARG Comment: Was the stand out performer of the heats last week, clocking 29.43. Will have to overcome a difficult box draw and get some clear room heading into the back, but if he's anywhere near the front runners, will storm home at the finish.

Comments: Ran a brilliant race last week to finish second behind Allen Deed in flying time and can ping the lids again from box five to run a cheeky race, but he will need to find some strength at the finish.
