Lightly-raced maiden. Returned from 7 months off to finish seventh of 14 in handicap at Newcastle (7f) 19 days ago, unable to sustain effort after racing freely. Likely has a bigger performance in him when it all clicks.

GREENWICH was a bit too keen for his own good back from a break at Newcastle recently but that should have knocked some of the freshness out of him and he can come good here. It's tough to make compelling claims for many of the others so Space Ninja could provide the main threat, even though he hasn't been seen for 11 months. Bay of Australia has headgear back on and could also play a prominent role on just his second start for this stable.
