Comment: Generally been out of sorts of late and not seen the winners' enclosure for a while now (last win in 2023); out of the frame (beaten 4½l in eighth) last month upped to 1m in an allowance optional claimer; $16k claiming tag this time (up from $15k); this line-up contains some strong opposition so has some questions to answer.

Bean Machine

Jockey: Adam Bowman Trainer: Linda Simon Age/Wt: 4/8-3 F: 055170

Comment: Has won previously at this course; finished towards the rear of 13 in an allowance race last month; a lot on his plate as a few rivals look in good form.

J D Factor

Jockey: Jaime Rodriguez Trainer: Jamie Ness Age/Wt: 4/8-7 F: 532111

Comment: Did it nicely at Delaware Park (bobbled at the start) last month in an allowance race; looking to complete a four-timer and resume shows that he is a proven winner (seeking a sixth career win).
