Still lightly raced and this is a drop back in class, so may prove resurgent
17	Jolie Baie Bay J:Jonathan Burke T:Jo Davis	J:Jonathan Burke T:Jo Davis	148	t	213-63	100	124	83	36d	—	—	+10	13.4	8.25/1	33/1 3%

Ran creditably last time but this looks a tougher assignment
4	Knockanore Bay J:Freddie Mitchell(3) T:Ryan Potter	J:Freddie Mitchell(3) T:Ryan Potter	164	p	60-P05	116	119	87	32d	—	0W/0P 1 run	+15	17	16.50/1	66/1 1%
