Poor strike rate but running well of late; return to this trip to suit and definite player

Yet to really hit form this campaign despite declining mark although not to be ruled out

Settled better for recent AW win; officially 1lb wrong here but big run expected

Progressive of late; 4lb wrong here but rider claims 3lb and can go well
1 (3)	The Highway Rat Bay J:Ben Coen T:A Oliver	J:Ben Coen T:A Oliver	140	b	013347	99	106	98	19d	—	—	-38	36.7	1.63/1	13/2 13%
Slow starts sometimes costly; can never rule out but top-weight opposable
3 (6)	Little Queenie Grey J:Robert Whearty(3) T:Paul W Flynn	J:Robert Whearty(3) T:Paul W Flynn	128	—	802755	87	107	86	13d	—	—	-44	30.8	1.63/1	13/2 13%
Okay runs of late but needs to find more and this stiff 6f probably not ideal
NR (4)	Airspeed Bay J:Wayne Lordan T:Edward Lynam	J:Wayne Lordan T:Edward Lynam	119	—	1227-0	81	100	89	39d	—	—	—	7.8	—	—
Entitled to come on for recent comeback run and yard representative from a strong entry
