Won the Computaform Sprint 24 days ago seeing off four of these rivals; his tally of C&D wins stands at four and bidding for hat-trick; could have less on his plate in this; has to be respected.

Held here three weeks ago by Buffalo Storm Cody when ninth of 14 in the Computaform Sprint; has an impressive C&D record (three wins from nine runs); this represents an easier task than his previous race; has won in classy company before and looks a contender.
