Trainer speaks of this one's potential and he'll no doubt have bigger targets in mind. But this race has $40k in stakemoney and it can collect the greater share of that on the way

Trainer does have many going around since he returned but what ones he does, are running well. Chance for this one to go back to back, after winning last weekend
Signed off its last campaign in May when winning a R75. Resumed a month ago to bolt in in an Open handicap so clearly developed further over the 4 month spell. Looks pretty smart
